Summary of Difference between dates in years, months, days
I need to calculate the difference between 2 dates and then total them.
Here's what I have so far: From To Length of Service 01/09/2003 31/01/2010 6y 4m 30d 01/06/2000 30/11/2002 2y 5m 29d Total of Service: ?????????? I've used the following formula to calculate the total days worked: =DATEDIF(A4,B4,"Y")&"y "&DATEDIF(A4,B4,"ym")&"m "&DATEDIF(A4,B4,"md")&"d" Problem is I don't know how to add the two together to get the total length of service. Thanks |

=DATEDIF(1,B2-A2+B3-A3,"y")&"y "&DATEDIF(1,B2-A2+B3-A3,"ym")&"m
"&DATEDIF(1,B2-A2+B3-A3,"md")&"d" Depending on how you define length you may have to add 1 to the date difference (or to one of the dates) Of course the formula can be shortened by using an intermediate cell for B2-A2+B3-B2 -- Kind regards, Niek Otten Microsoft MVP - Excel "mardoh" wrote in message ...

And of course the whole thing gets a bit doubtful as months have different
lengths, and if you haven't got one unique starting date you don't really know how many days to include in a month, but Niek's idea is about as good as you can do. -- David Biddulph "Niek Otten" wrote in message ... =DATEDIF(1,B2-A2+B3-A3,"y")&"y "&DATEDIF(1,B2-A2+B3-A3,"ym")&"m "&DATEDIF(1,B2-A2+B3-A3,"md")&"d" Depending on how you define length you may have to add 1 to the date difference (or to one of the dates) Of course the formula can be shortened by using an intermediate cell for B2-A2+B3-B2 -- Kind regards, Niek Otten Microsoft MVP - Excel "mardoh" wrote in message ...
