Having problems calculating dates in Excel.
 
Hello,

I have been having a difficult time calculating the difference between 2
dates. Specifically, the start date of an employee and todays date. I want
to calculate how long they have been there for reviews etc. I got the
formula below from a microsoft site but it only gives me 0,
years,6months,22.44237... days. I'm trying to get rid of all of those number
after the decimal. Can you help?


//Russ



=YEAR(A2)-YEAR(A1)-IF(OR(MONTH(A2)<MONTH(A1),AND(MONTH(A2)=MONTH(A1),
DAY(A2)<DAY(A1))),1,0)&" years, "&MONTH(A2)-MONTH(A1)+IF(AND(MONTH(A2)
<=MONTH(A1),DAY(A2)<DAY(A1)),11,IF(AND(MONTH(A2)<M ONTH(A1),DAY(A2)
=DAY(A1)),12,IF(AND(MONTH(A2)MONTH(A1),DAY(A2)<D AY(A1)),-1)))&" months,

"&A2-DATE(YEAR(A2),MONTH(A2)-IF(DAY(A2)<DAY(A1),1,0),DAY(A1))&" days"



0 years,6 months,22.442376620369 days

You are using
=NOW()
to find the current day? (in cell A2)

Try using
=TODAY()



All times are GMT +1. The time now is 06:53 PM.
