Xcelsius is a cool presentation tool to design and display dashboards. I was recently working on a project with the requirement of showing current time on the dashboard. There is no time or clock component in xcelsius to achieve this.
First I tried using Excel's NOW() function. The problem with now function is that it only displays the static time when you first open the dashboard. The time won't change after that even when you refresh dashboard connections.
There is a neat trick using History component to achieve this functionality.
