How can I compute a kids age based on his birthdate
I need to determine a players "league" age based on his/her birthdate.
League age is computed based on the last birthday occuring before 1 OCT of the current year. i.e. a Kid born on 30 SEP 99 would be league age 6, while a kid born on 1 OCT 99 would be league age 5. Thanx, Tom |
Hi Tom,
Do you mean the current calendar year from Jan 1 - Dec 31 use Sept 30 =year(Date(year(today(),10,0) - A2) which will have a leap year problem so they shoul work better =DATEDIF(A2, date(year(totday()), 10, 0), "y") read more about DATEDIF at Chip Pearson's page http://www.cpearson.com/excel/datedif.htm or in Excel 2000 you will find it in HELP but not before or after Excel 2000 has always been available is still available, requires Analysis Toolpak addin which you stimple activate if the function is not availale. --- HTH, David McRitchie, Microsoft MVP - Excel [site changed Nov. 2001] My Excel Pages: http://www.mvps.org/dmcritchie/excel/excel.htm Search Page: http://www.mvps.org/dmcritchie/excel/search.htm "Coach T" <Coach wrote in message ...

Tom, Typo in David's formula should be, =DATEDIF(A2, date(year(today()),
10, 0), "y") -- Paul B Always backup your data before trying something new Please post any response to the newsgroups so others can benefit from it Feedback on answers is always appreciated!

Thanx, Tom Try this for fun it will give you a output as follows: 43 years, 4 months, 26 days --- just replace the date or use a cell reference. =DATEDIF(DATE(1962,2,8),NOW(),"y") & " years, " & DATEDIF(DATE(1962,2,8),NOW(),"ym") & " months, " & DATEDIF(DATE(1962,2,8),NOW(),"md") & " days" |
