Date formula

[Guest]

If F1 has a hire date, how would you write the formula to show the number of
years, months, and days in F2, something like today()-F1 or now()-F1. I can't
get it to show the total years, months and days.
Thanks in advance!

"&DATEDIF(F1,TODAY(),"MD")&" days"

Try...

=DATEDIF(F1,TODAY(),"Y")&" Years, "&DATEDIF(F1,TODAY(),"YM")&" Months,
"&DATEDIF(F1,TODAY(),"MD")&" Days"

Hope this helps!

DATEDIF(F1,NOW(),"md") & " days"
