This is one option:

A1: birthdate
B1: =DATEDIF(A1,TODAY(),"Y")&" years &
"&MOD(DATEDIF(A1,TODAY(),"M"),12)&" months"

Also...

=DATEDIF(A1,TODAY(),"Y")&" Years, "&DATEDIF(A1,TODAY(),"YM")&" Months"

Hope this helps!

Try the Datedif function.

It's undocumented except in XL2k.

BUT, you can find it explained at Chip Pearson's web site at:
