Hello Somebody,,
I could use some help with this one. I'm trying to create a formula
using
MS Excel
because several persons will be using this file, and they should have this
software
on their machines.

OK, let's say that I wanted to determine the exact age of an individual
that
has died.
I want everything figured in,,, like leap years and such.

I would like to enter two dates; their birth date and their date of death.
and I would like a date that formats something like one of the following:

49 "Years" & 72 "Days"
or like this:
49 "Years", 3 "Months" & 17 "Days"


Would appreciate any help along this line if I can get someone that's up
for
the
challenge.....

Thanks in advance for your help,

Jeffrey Thomas
