How do I subtract today's date from one before 1900?
I'm attempting to create an Excel timeline of battles and major eveins in
United States history. I want one of the column's to show how many years it has been since that date. For example, say A6 has July 4, 1776. Cell A1 has the formula =Today() Every time I use the formula =Year(A1)-Year(A6) I get an error message in the cell. |
Sadly, dates only go back to 1900.

The bad news is excel only supports dates since 1900.
