Today's Date in a Dashboard

Wobbly1

I have just set up the following automation which hopefully will automatically refresh the date field in the sheet I am using to populate the date field on my portal

The only thing now is how to get the portal metric widget to use the same date formatting I use in the sheet - any ideas?

Yeah - anyone? you have GOT to be kidding me if you cannot just add a "this is accurate as of (today)" with the date of today.. right..?

There has to be an easier way to show the date on a dashboard, right?

I cannot believe this thread. Do we really not have a widget to display the day of the week on a Dashboard? I can't believe the only way is to create a sheet with the purpose of importing only the date.

This thread is four years old now, many of us would like to get today's date on our dashboard... any simple solution ? Could you embed all of these complicated solution above in a black box displayed as a user friendly widget ?

Still no way to get today's date on a dashboard? Seem like this is the single most important and simplest metric for many dashboards. Hard to justify paying for a product that lacks this functionality.

It's Q2 2024 - Is there a simple solution for adding the current date to the top of a dashboard?
