Microsoft Excel Tips


Dear All,

Hope you will be fine. I am starting new blog about Microsoft excel tips. In this blog I will provide you new excel tips & formulas on daily basis.
First note the index which i will teach you daily lesson by lesson.

Lesson NO: 01

Age Calculation


You can calculate a persons age based on their birthday and todays date.
The calculation uses the DATEDIF() function.
The DATEDIF() is not documented in Excel 5, 7 or 97, but it is in 2000.
(Makes you wonder what else Microsoft forgot to tell us!)


Birth date :

12-Nov-03















Years lived :

6

=DATEDIF(C8,TODAY(),"y")





and the months :

3

=DATEDIF(C8,TODAY(),"ym")




and the days :

13

=DATEDIF(C8,TODAY(),"md")












You can put this all together in one calculation, which creates a text version.




Age is 6 Years, 3 Months and 13 Days







="Age is "&DATEDIF(C8,TODAY(),"y")&" Years, "&DATEDIF(C8,TODAY(),"ym")&" Months and "&DATEDIF(C8,TODAY(),"md")&" Days"



















Another way to calculate age







This method gives you an age which may potentially have decimal places representing the months.



If the age is 20.5, the .5 represents 6 months.














Birth date :

1-Jan-60















Age is :

50.15

=(TODAY()-C23)/365.25
