Solution 17049: Entering Current Date and Time on the BA II PLUS™ and BA II PLUS™ PROFESSIONAL.

Do the BA II PLUS and BA II PLUS PROFESSIONAL calculators have a clock?

The BA II PLUS and BA II PLUS PROFESSIONAL calculators do not have a clock, therefore, it is not possible to enter and keep a current date in the calculator.


The Date Worksheet on the calculator is used to find days between dates or calculate a date and day of the week based on a starting date and a specified number of days.

For example, to the find the number of days between 10/27/2003 and 05/13/2006, follow the procedure below:

Press [2nd] [Date] to enter the Worksheet. DT1 is displayed

•   Press [2nd] [CLR Work] to set the DT1 and DT2 to the default

Note: DT1 is the earlier date and DT2 is the later date

•  Enter the first date as 10.2703 (10/27/2003)

•  Press [ENTER]

•  Press the down arrow key

•  Enter the second date as 5.1306

•  Press [ENTER]
