Default Excel Question

Here is an example:
Here is the chart with the ages and their coresponding rates.
Per $1000 of coverage
<25 $1.20
25-29 $0.96
30-34 $1.20
35-39 $1.44
40-44 $1.80
45-49 $2.76
50-54 $4.68
55-59 $8.64
60-64 $13.08
65-69 $19.68
70+ $46.68

What I want to be able to do is the following

DOB Age Rate
09/17/1943 ? $13.08/1000

I want Excel to be able to take the birth date calucalte the age then find
the coresponding rate.

Thanks.

I guess I don't really understand your problem. If you have a
birthdate, the formula

=DATEDIF(birth_date,TODAY(),"Y")

will return the age in years.

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

Use the DATEDIF function.

=DATEDIF(start_date,end_date,"Y")

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
