Hello
Friends,
As promised in this article I will show you the process to calculate the exact age in Days, Months and Years from two given dates be it current date or any specific date.
I
will use DATEDIF function to get the
age in year, month & day.
Just to recall I would like to quote from my own
article, "Please note,
DATEDIF function is not like other functions, Excel will not help opening
function argument box to be filled with data but if you provide all the data in
correct order, it will help you a lot in future."
Syntax
The
syntax for the DATEDIF function in Microsoft Excel is as below,
=DATEDIF( start_date, end_date, interval )
*** End date must be greater than Start date
In
the below article you can notice that I have taken Date of Birth in 'B' column
and I have taken current date in the 'C' column and the result is in the next
column.

To
get exact age from a specific or current date we need to use the same formula
and we need to use one function three times with CONCATE function or using
"&" operator.
the
formula is :
=DATEDIF(B4,C4,"Y") & " Years " &
DATEDIF(B4,C4,"YM") & " Months " &
DATEDIF(B4,C4,"MD") & " Days"
Note : I can modify this function using CONCATE
function and then the excel formula becomes...
=CONCATENATE(DATEDIF(B4,C4,"Y"), " Years " & DATEDIF(B4,C4,"YM"), " Months " & DATEDIF(B4,C4,"MD"), " Days")
I
use '&' to avoid extra function.
Now
if we analyze the formula then we notice that the this formula is using DATEDIF
function thrice but the last parameter is changing.
The
meaning of these last parameters are as below.
Y - The of Complete Year
YM - The difference between the Months (Days and Years are ignored)
MD - The difference between the Days (Months and Years are ignored)
I
hope it is quite easy way to calculate the exact age in years and months and
days.
Keep
reading and keep growing your knowledge in Excel...
Thank
you for reading...
