Hi,

Use the datedif() function:

1. For years =datedif(start_date,end_date,"y"), say in cell B4
2. For months =datedif(start_date,end_date,"ym"), say in cell C4
3. For days =end_date-edate(start date,(b4*12)+C4)

Please note that I have not used DATEDIF(start_date,end_date,"md") to
compute the days because in some cases, the answer will be a negative number

Out of all the samples I have tried the one below is the only one I could
get to work.

However, I am trying to calculating the years, months and days and was
wondering if you have something for that?

Thanks
Vivian

Works thanks.
=INT((TODAY()-D2)/365.25)
I added the .25 for leap years

Function to calculate the Length of Service of an Employee
Hi there,

I have the Date Of Hire for my employees and I was wondering if there was
a
built in function to give the the length the employee has been in the
company
in whole years.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Where A1= date of hire, and A2=date of reference (could be TODAY() for
example).

If your hire date is in D2, try this:

=3DINT((TODAY()-D2)/365)

and then copy down.

This does not account for leap years - is that important to you?

Hope this helps.
