Default date formulas

hi,
i don't know how to compute a date formula to display someone's age. it will
not let me subtract like a calculator and reveal the age. how do you enter a
formula to compute your age?

Default date formulas

Use the DATEDIF function. E.g.,

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

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