Default Convert Age to Months

Use the datedif function something like this...

=DATEDIF(A1, TODAY(), "m")

Here is a link on using datedif

Hi - I would like to calculate a child's age into months. For example, if a
child is 1 year old, the cell would read '12' months old.

What's more important, I don't want to round up to the nearest month. So,
if a child turned 12months on 12/15/09 (born 12/15/08) and today is 1/6/2010,
I would like it to round down to 24months.

It would only turn 25months if today was 1/15/2010.
