Chip,

Thanks for your response. I tried that but it did not do what I wanted it
to. What I am trying to do is the following. I have a list of about 600
employees. I am trying to put together a formular where I can tell Excel to
calculate the birthdate and then based on its results do a VLookup to see
what the coresponding rate is and then have it pull that rate into a
specified cell. For example, is Bob Smith was born on 12/20/1950, I need
exce to recognize that he is 50 years of age. Then look at what rate
corresponds to 50 years of age and then put it in Cell A4.

Please let me know if this makes sense or if you need additional info.

Thanks.

Adam

Hello All,

How can I subtract dates to get whole numbers in Excel? I am
trying to link
DOB's with a chart that rates based on age.

example: 12/20/2005 - 12/20/1955 = 50 years old.

Any and all assistance is greatly appreciated.

Thanks.

Adam
