Default DATEDIF

Thanks Papou, but this does not work, it sends back a date, (such as
2/18/06), but i am looking for the difference in years, (46)

"George" a écrit dans le message de news:
...
=DATEDIF(E5,TODAY(),"Y") & " Years "
i have used this formula, but i do not want the word years to show up in
the
cell, how do i modify it.

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"
