How to subtract two date Problem
DATEVALUE() converts a text representation of a date into a real date.
To get the number of days between the two dates simply subtract them: =B1-A1 To get the number of years use DATEDIF() as in: =DATEDIF(A1,B1,"y") or for the number of months left over use: =DATEDIF(A1,B1,"ym") and for thr odd days use: =DATEDIF(A1,B1,"md") to combine them all together: =DATEDIF(A1,B1,"y") & " Years "&DATEDIF(A1,B1,"ym")&" Months "&DATEDIF(A1,B1,"md")&" Days" -- HTH Sandy In Perth, the ancient capital of Scotland and the crowning place of kings Replace @mailinator.com with @tiscali.co.uk "ghost" wrote in message ...

How to subtract two date Problem
Because the dates are in different years your formula returns 1 for dates 13
months apart. -- Regards, Sandy In Perth, the ancient capital of Scotland and the crowning place of kings Replace @mailinator.com with @tiscali.co.uk "Mike H" wrote in message ...
