"how do I calculate age by using date of birth details"
Hi,
try this with a birthdate in A1 =DATEDIF(A1,TODAY(),"y") Note that datedif isn't documented in Excel, for help look here http://www.cpearson.com/excel/datedif.htm Mike "mossy 200" wrote: Help I am trying to calculate age on the spreadsheet.

Well, you can use the following formula,
Suppose you have the birth dates in column A then select a cell in any other column and enter following formula =YEAR(TODAY())-YEAR(A1) It will calculate the number of years in between today's date and the supplied date Hope this works Have a nice time Chris ------ Convert your Excel spreadsheet into an online calculator. http://www.spreadsheetconverter.com -- Message posted via OfficeKB.com http://www.officekb.com/Uwe/Forums.a...tions/200902/1 |

That may or may not give you the age.
Try it with a birthday of 1/9/81 and todays date and you get a result of 28 but that person isn't 28 ubtil 1/9 Mike "Chris Bode via OfficeKB.com" wrote: Well, you can use the following formula, Suppose you have the birth dates in column A then select a cell in any other column and enter following formula =YEAR(TODAY())-YEAR(A1) It will calculate the number of years in between today's date and the supplied date Hope this works Have a nice time Chris ------ Convert your Excel spreadsheet into an online calculator. http://www.spreadsheetconverter.com -- Message posted via OfficeKB.com http://www.officekb.com/Uwe/Forums.a...tions/200902/1 |

Hi,
I personally favor DATEDIF but if you don't like using an undocumented function then =TRUNC(YEARFRAC(A1,TODAY(),1)) Where the birthday is in A1. For this work you could also choose: =DATEDIF(A1,NOW(),"y") or =TRUNC(YEARFRAC(A1,NOW(),1)) -- If this helps, please click the Yes button Cheers, Shane Devenshire "mossy 200" wrote: Help I am trying to calculate age on the spreadsheet.
