Using a date formula!
 

I am using the formula:
=MIN(INT((TODAY()-D-10)/365)+1,4) to calulate from todays date to a past
date and return the number years past with a max of 4 years.

The problem: when I formulate the worksheet I will get "4" in the cell
because it will calculate from today to 1-1-1900, how can I formulate a cell
and get a default value of "0" or blank until I enter a date to which I want
a calculation? I want to formulate the entire sheet and have it only
calculate when I enter a date?

Maybe not the most efficient, but you could use an if then
statement..such as 100 or 1/1/1900 date.

=IF(cell_with_date="",0,MIN(DATEDIF(cell_with_date ,TODAY(),"y"),4))
