If its Thursday, it must be Leila ... my usual routine ... hot coffee while watching Leila's latest presentation.

Interesting approach ... not sure I have an immediate need ... but always appreciate another "tool" in the shop (so to speak).

Great video as always Leila.
I often use this Custom Formatting in my spreadsheets - "as of " dd/mm/yyyy
Then just use the keyboard shortcut Ctrl + ;
or a date calculation
to end up with a date that is still a date in the cell, but prefixed with "as of " (or "last updated on ", or "Due by ", etc)
