Default Age calculation

IF DOB is in A1, enter following formula in B2:
=YEAR(TODAY()-A1)-1900
and format it standard or number

The most frequently suggested way is:
DATEDIF(A1, TODAY(), "y")

Hello,
I can get the Ardus Petus to work very well, but I can't seem to get
the David formula ...DATEDIF(A1, TODAY(), "y")... to work. It looks
like there may be a space between the ..first comma and today... and
also a space between the ...second comma and the first quotation
mark...
Irregardless, I can't get it to work with or without a space.
I have tried formating my formula cell to TEXT, then to NUMBER, and
then to GENERAL.
I can't get it to go.
I also have put an equal sign at the first and that didn't help. Could
the formula be incorrect or am I doing something wrong?

What specifically do you mean by "can't get it to work"? Do you
receive an error value in the cell? An unexpected result? Please
be specific.
