How do you add the absolute time and date to a spreadsheet file?

I am creating a spreadsheet file, and I want to write the absolute time and date to its first column. Does anybody know how to do this?
Thank You,

You can use "get time and date" string from "Time and Dialog" functions menu and convert the string to numerics, then write to the spreadsheet.

Hope that will work for you.

I must reword my question since I made a mistake.
My question is: How do you write the absolute time
to the firstcolumn of a measurement file using the
"Write LabView Measurement File" Express VI?
Sorry for the confusion.
Thank You,

BrianL answer is still valid !
Attached is an example file with an express vi configured to use the absolute time generated from a get time/date node.
