Hello,
Is it possible to use current data or time in object? Not only to print it but also to use it in f.e. if - then formula?
Thank you in advance.

Yes. The current date/time is returned as a string by REQUEST("DateTime", format_string, date-time-_string).

You can then 'parse' the returned date-time string into numeric values using the SPLIT function - and then use those values for your IF.
