Hi, Probably the easiest thing to do would be to use either the =today or =now function like you've mentioned, but after entering the formula, press cmd-c to copy the cell, then cmd-shift-v to paste the formula results back into that same cell. Rather awkward but only takes two steps and you're done. the third step is a quick eMail to Apple giving them some numbers feedback saying that we want that feature put back into Numbers. It's rather silly for it to have been dropped in the first place.
