Supposing there is a sheet containing a row with dates, and now I want to insert a line right to the current date which will auto change while opening the workbook every day. Is there a trick can solve it in Excel?

In the New Formatting Rule dialog, select Use a formula to determine which cells to format, and type this formula =IF(B$1=TODAY(),TRUE, FALSE) to the Format values where this formula is true text box.
