Working out age from "Day" "Month" "Year"
 

I would like to know how would I work out someone's age in number ("20")
from having three seperate columns of:

Day Month Year
14 March 1986

note, this is not in the form dd/mm/yyyy in *one* cell but in three
seperate columns. I am thinking there may be two steps e.g. on step to
get it into dd/mm/yyyy then another to pur it into age?

Thanks in advance, Tim

Perhaps,

=DATEDIF(A1&"-"&B1&"-"&C1,NOW(),"y")

Try this, it has worked for me.

=YEAR(TODAY()-DATEVALUE(A1&B1&C1))-1900

Working out age from "Day" "Month" "Year"
 

one way with a lookup table
January 1
February 2
March 3
April 4
May 5
June 6
July 7
August 8
September 9
October 10
November 11
December 12


=DATEDIF(DATE(I5,VLOOKUP(H5,K4:L15,2,0),G5),NOW(), "y")
