Is there a way to capture the PC system date and time separately in two different cells? Date format is dd/mm/yy, time format is hh:mm AM/PM.
 

Excel Facts

Square and cube roots
The =SQRT(25) is a square root. For a cube root, use =125^(1/3). For a fourth root, use =625^(1/4).
Thanks for the info sharing.

Is there any way to capture such date and time and lock it after saving? The next time the file is opened, the date and time will not refresh to the current date and time but displayed as the saved version. This is to allow capturing the true date and time upon saving.

You could code in workbook|beforeclose to paste values on those cells.
