Hi, I have two problems that need help.
Cell A1 has a date of birth. Cell A2 calculates the age. If there isn't a dob of birth, cell A2 returns 110. Another one is having cell C1 with a date or NA. C2 is based on cell C1 and adds 3 months to the date in C1 but if C1 has NA, the return is #value!. Kathleen |

Describing the problem is only the first step, Kathleen. You also need to
identify the solution you are looking for. As a guess, for #1 try, =if(a1="","",datedif(a1,today(),"y")) For #2, =if(c1="NA","",date(year(c1),month(c1)+3,day(c1)) Regards, Fred "Kathleen" wrote in message ...

Hi Fred, Sorry about that...and thank you for trying. I'm using Exel 2003.
What I am trying to do is get the age or the return of na. AR5 has the date of birth. AR1 has the formula to calculate the age based on the date of birth. AR5 = 07/29/1965 AR1 = 44 but if AR5 is blank, AR1 is returning 110. Is it possible to have a return of na instead? Here's the formula I'm using =DATEDIF(AR5,NOW(),"y") In problem two, I am using this formula in HA6 to add three months to a the date in HA5. Problem is that HA5 could have a date or be marked NA. If HA5 is na, the return is #value!. Is it possible to have it return na? =MIN(DATE(YEAR(HA5),MONTH(HA5)+3+{0,1},DAY(HA5)*{0 ,0})) "Fred Smith" wrote: Describing the problem is only the first step, Kathleen.

So my guess for #1 was correct. You want:
=if(ar5="","na",datedif(ar5,today(),"y")) And my guess for #2 was correct. You want: =if(ha5="na","na",date(year(ha5),month(ha5)+3,day( ha5)) Regards, Fred "Kathleen" wrote in message ...
