You can do a lot of learning on your own. Check your local library (or bookseller [online | local ]) for texts on Excel and VBA. An author I've found helpful is John Walkenbach; I notice that he's now editing a series of texts authored by other folk. You can learn a lot by reading, both generally and looking up specific points. Then, read this website, see what others are asking. See if you know the answer. Attempt to apply things from both here and from books, ask more questions.
Anyway, after you've worked with Excel a bit, you'll know to type =now() when you want the date/time now.
