You may want to insert tomorrow's date into a cell in your worksheet. This is easily done by simply creating a formula that includes the function for today's date, as in the following:
=TODAY() + 1
This formula first determines today's date, and then adds 1 to it, resulting in tomorrow's date. You can then use Excel's formatting features to display the resulting date in any manner desired.
Besides displaying tomorrow's date, you can modify the formula to display a date at any time in the future. Simply change the formula so the desired number of days are being added to today's date. For instance, if you wanted to determine a date two weeks in the future, you could use the following:
=TODAY() + 14

Is it possible to write a formula added onto the today function, that would change the date to tomorrow after 2pm? I created a program for my work for scheduling patients in our hospital for their therapy times, but we begin working on the next day's schedule at 2pm the day prior. So I need the date to automatically change to the next date after 2, and would prefer not to have to manually change the date on each of my sheets (I have 5+ sheets with information) if possible.
