how to automatically set today's date

[Anonymous]

Hi Community, I have a very simple table with only one cell value which is today's date.  Is there a way to make the date automatically update to the current date?  Basically the same as if I were to use the =today() function in excel.  Thanks!

Why does it have to be a table?

Could it not be a measure? e.g. Today_Date = TODAY()

Thanks

Hello:

I give you two ways below

Today's date to measure, you first create a measure, and then formulate it.

In table, you add a new table and then the formula

I hope it works for you.

Best regards.
