Hi, When I'm using the now function in excel, it does not update automatically.
Could I write a macro that will update the now function. Basically a macro that performs a calculate every five minutes.

Thanks is advance.

Excel Facts

When did Power Query debut in Excel?
Although it was an add-in in Excel 2010 & Excel 2013, Power Query became a part of Excel in 2016, in Data, Get & Transform Data.
You can have the calculate option set to manual and have the recalculate before save option checked and then install the AutoSave add-in and have it autosave every 5 minutes.

Or take a look at the OnTime function.
