Is there anyway of converting a date to the amount of years. I have
employees years started posted and I want to convert to years worked with the
company.

Thanks

Kevin

Use the DATEDIF command.

=DATEDIF(start_date, TODAY(),"y")

See www.cpearson.com/excel/datedif.htm for more info about
DATEDIF.

Hi

If the date is a recognised Excel date, you can simply deduct the date from
today's date and format the result as yy.

Hope this helps.

Hi, try this:

=DATEDIF(A1,TODAY(),"y") # years

you can also use:

"m" - months
"d" - days
"ym" - year months
"yd" - year days

If you only have the starting years and want a rough estimate (calendar
years) you can use

=YEAR(TODAY())-A1

where A1 holds the start year
