You've asked for the FORMULA, That implies that you don't want to use VBA, but wish to use Excel formulas.
Let's say that the date you're checking is in A2, The simple answer is to subtract this year "Year(Today())" >From the year of the of the date in A2 "Year(A2)" giving: YEAR(TODAY())-YEAR(A2) The month calculation is similar: MONTH(TODAY()) - MONTH(A2) However, if the month happens to be AFTER the current month For instance, checking December 12, 1954 Then the month calculation becomes negative. In which case, you would need to subtract (1) from the year result, and subtract this month difference from 12. So, I'd say that the first thing you must do is check to see if the month value of the date in question is after the current month, then modify your formula accordingly: =IF(MONTH(TODAY()) < MONTH(A2), YEAR(TODAY())-YEAR(A2) - 1 &" years, " & 12+MONTH(TODAY()) - MONTH(A2) & " months", YEAR(TODAY())-YEAR(A2) &" years, " & MONTH(TODAY()) - MONTH(A2) & " months") Paul ----------------------------------------- “Do all the good you can, By all the means you can, In all the ways you can, In all the places you can, At all the times you can, To all the people you can, As long as ever you can.” - John Wesley ----------------------------------------- ________________________________ From: excel lerner <exceller...@gmail.com> To: excel-macros@googlegroups.com Sent: Mon, November 5, 2012 6:42:06 AM Subject: $$Excel-Macros$$ Calculate years and months between today daye and given date Hello sir Can you please explain how to get completd years ,Months bet ween todays date and pevius year date.example 01/04/1954 05/11/2012 please tell me the formula thanq sir -- Join official facebook page of this forum @ https://www.facebook.com/discussexcel FORUM RULES (1120+ members already BANNED for violation) 1) Use concise, accurate thread titles.
