If you want the age in days rather than years, try
=IF(A1="","",TODAY()-A1&" days")

If you want a more complex output from DATEDIF, look at

Hey,

I have trying to find a formula to do this for ages, however i need a
formula that will do the excact amount of time. ie for a child who is not
yet 1 years of age. and still leave spaces where3 there is no date in the
DOB
colum.

Can you help with this?
