DATEDIF function

[Guest]

Can the result of a DATEDIF function be displayed as years and months?

Example

Cell T47 displays 15-Jan-04. The formula in U47 is
=DATEDIF(T47,TODAY(),"y")&DATEDIF(T47,TODAY(),"ym"). The result is 31 for 3
years and 1 month. Is there any way for the result to say 3 years 1 month?

Works with the date in A1 change as required if you don't want the days bit
simply delete the end piece of the formuula

=DATEDIF(A1,NOW(),"Y") & " Years, " & DATEDIF(A1,NOW(),"YM") & " Months, " &
DATEDIF(A1,NOW(),"MD") & " Days"

=DATEDIF(T47,TODAY(),"y") & " year(s) " & DATEDIF(T47,TODAY(),"ym") & "
month(s)"

Mike,

With this formula, tomorrow should read 3 years 2 days, correct?

If you're starting off with 15/1/04, tomorrow will be 3 years 1 month 9 days
(or tomorrow will be 3 years 1 month 10 days in places like Australia, whee
it's already tomorrow today, if you see what I mean!).

I don't know where your 3 years 2 days comes from, Mathew?

Mike & Vergel,

Thanks for the quick response. I can stop pulling my hair out now.
