I want a cell to give how old someone is or how long they have been married
today. It has to show that a child born on 2/20/2000 is 4 years old UNTIL
2/20/2005. That day, it would change to 5.

It seems that my calculations round up or something and therefore the
information is not accurate but shows them older earlier than their actual
birthdate. I am doing this as well for anniversaries, employment, etc.

Any info will be great appreciated!

Thanks,
Cheri

one way:

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

Hi

=DATEDIF(StartDate,EndDate,"Y") does return the number of full years between
2 dates.
=DATEDIF(StartDate,EndDate,"YM") does return the number of full months over
full years.
=DATEDIF(StartDate,EndDate,"MD") does return the number of days over full
months.

Combined formula:
=TRIM(IF(DATEDIF(StartDate,EndDate,"Y")=0,"",DATED IF(StartDate,EndDate,"Y")
& " year" & IF(DATEDIF(StartDate,EndDate,"Y")=1,"s","")) &
IF(DATEDIF(StartDate,EndDate,"YM")=0,"", " " &
DATEDIF(StartDate,EndDate,"YM") & " month" &
IF(DATEDIF(StartDate,EndDate,"YM")=1,"s","")) &
IF(DATEDIF(StartDate,EndDate,"MD")=0,"", " " &
DATEDIF(StartDate,EndDate,"MD") & " day" &
IF(DATEDIF(StartDate,EndDate,"MD")=1,"s","")))
