You can calculate a persons age based on their birthday and todays date.
The calculation uses the DATEDIF() function.
The DATEDIF() is not documented in Excel 5, 7 or 97, but it is in 2000.
(Makes you wonder what else Microsoft forgot to tell us!)
Birth date :29-Apr-73
| Years lived : | 38 | =DATEDIF(C8,TODAY(),"y") |
| and the months : | 9 | =DATEDIF(C8,TODAY(),"ym") |
| and the days : | 7 | =DATEDIF(C8,TODAY(),"md") |
You can put this all together in one calculation, which creates a text version.
Age is 38 Years, 9 Months and 7 Days
="Age is "&DATEDIF(C8,TODAY(),"y")&" Years, "&DATEDIF(C8,TODAY(),"ym")&" Months and "&DATEDIF(C8,TODAY(),"md")&" Days"
Another way to calculate age
This method gives you an age which may potentially have decimal places representing the months.
If the age is 20.5, the .5 represents 6 months.
| Birth date : | 01-Jan-60 |
| Age is : | 52.10 |
