How do I find the exact years and days between 2 dates?

Use DATEDIF. Example assumes the two dates are in C28 and D28:

=DATEDIF(MIN(C28,D28),MAX(C28,D28),"y")&" years,
"&DATEDIF(MIN(C28,D28),MAX(C28,D28),"md")&" days"

Use this formula if you want the days to be inclusive:

=DATEDIF(MIN(C28,D28),MAX(C28,D28),"y")&" years,
"&DATEDIF(MIN(C28,D28),MAX(C28,D28),"md")+1&" days"

You presumably mean DATEDIF, not DATEIF ?

I've suggested the use of http://www.cpearson.com/excel/datedif.aspx which
will also show the syntax to get the days part to add to the number of
years.
