The formula on the "Calculating A Person's Age" section of the
web page will return a string stating how many years, months, and
days a person has been alive.

=DATEDIF(A1,B1,"y") & " years, " & DATEDIF(A1,B1,"ym") & "
months, " & DATEDIF(A1,B1,"md") & " days"

where A1 is birthdate and B1 is death date.

I need to find out the amount of time between two dates for

funeral benefits. The form asks how long the person has
been alive in Years
Months and Days.

I would like to know if I put for instance 10/21/1955 in say
A1 as the birth
date and 01/25/2006 in B1 as the date of death. So what is
the formula, if
one, to calculate the time in years months and days that has
passed between
the two dates?
