24	What time is it now when we import the time from another sheet?
25	09/10/2025 11:02:45		IMPORTRANGE this is importing the time from another sheet using NOW() to generate it	Data Freshness	https://support.google.com/docs/answer/3093340?hl=en#zippy=%2Cdata-freshness
26	Stock Indices			Google Sheets ensures that Sheets users get the fresh data while they keep their use reasonable. IMPORTRANGE automatically checks for updates every hour while the document is open, even if the formula and spreadsheet don’t change. If you delete, read, or overwrite the cells with the same formula, the reload of the functions trigger. If you open and reload the document, it doesn’t trigger a reload on IMPORTRANGE.

39	Updating NOW(), TODAY(), RAND(), or RANDBETWEEN() formulas
40	Press Backspace ← or Del on any empty cell to immediately trigger a recalculation of formulas depending on NOW(), TODAY(), RAND(), or RANDBETWEEN() (in all Sheets of the whole Spreadsheet, as usual).
41
42	(If no empty cell is at hand, you can delete a filled cell instead and then undo that with Ctrl+z.)

45	INDIRECT() formulas are unfortunately not updated like this by default.

47	Updating INDIRECT() formulas
48	You can update a (range of) cells of INDIRECT() formulas by pasting the range on itself:
49
50	Select cell/ range
51	Ctrl+C
52	Ctrl+V
53	You can use Ctrl+A to select the whole current Sheet in step 1.. But for large Sheets then the other 2 operations can take several seconds each.
54	A trick to know when the process of copying a large range has finished: Copy some single cell before copying your range: The single cell losing its dotted border will be your notification of the large copy finishing.
