How do I calculate employment service and display as yy/mm/dd in .

[Guest]

I want to calculate employment service and have it display as year/month/day.
Example: If I worked from 2/18/85 - 8/1/06 my service would be 21/5/12.

Hi Bjair,

You can use the DATEDIF function, an old Lotus 1-2-3 function that Excel use
for compatibility, so you have:

=DATEDIF(C5;D5;"y")&"/"&DATEDIF(C5;D5;"YM")&"/"&DATEDIF(C5;D5;"MD" )

where in C5 is your starting date (2/18/85), while in D5 is your ending date
(8/1/06).

For more informations about the function you can see here:
