Hi Franz, I tried your modified formula but it does not work. For example
14.02.1980 01.04.1995 15 years, 1 month, 19 days
whereas the actual difference is 15 years, 1 month, 17 days including both
monthdays. The actual and modified formula both give incorrect results. I
think excel is not able to work out the days of February days, specially for
the years divisible by 4, 100, 400 and 1600. Can anybody help me.
Thanks, waiting for the reply.

01/01/2006 28/02/2006 0 years, 1 months, 27 days
01/01/2006 31/01/2006 0 years, 0 months, 30 days

Which is ok but I would want the result for the first example to be 2
months and for the second example 1 month.

Should I use another formula?

Thanks in advance

Hi Deborah,

try with this modified formula:

=DATEDIF(A2,B2+1,"y") & " years, " & DATEDIF(A2,B2+1,"ym") & " months,
"&DATEDIF(A2,B2+1,"md") & " days"
