Q: age column

[Guest]

Hello,
I have a birthday column with YYYYMMDD format and I need to create an age
column. How can I do that?
Thanks,
Jim.

=INT((TODAY()-DATE(LEFT(A1,4),MONTH(MID(A1,5,2)),DAY(RIGHT(A1,2))))/365)

That formula will have errors when the date is near a person's birthday due
to leap year issues.


Try

=DATEDIF(startdate,enddate,"Y") for years

See XL help for more information on this formula.

With your birth date in A1:

=DATEDIF(TEXT(A1,"0000\/00\/00"),TODAY(),"y")

will give you the age in years.

My previous formula works for US regional settings. I'm not sure about other
countries.
