# Today

Returns the current date.

| Expression                   | Example result |
| ---------------------------- | -------------- |
| `&Format(Today, "MMM yyyy")` | `Jun 2023`     |

`Today` ignores the databox value, so it can only appear as an argument to another function or after an operator.

It is the usual starting point for a date window — see [DateAdd](/reference/expression-reference/date-expressions/dateadd.md) and [BetweenDates](/reference/expression-reference/date-expressions/betweendates.md).

For the time as well, use [Now](/reference/expression-reference/date-expressions/now.md).
