I need to calculate the difference in ages for a school
tracking program. The problem is in the fact that the ages
are recorded as follows:
6.1 is a child 6 years and 1 month
6.2 is a child 6 years and 2 months etc
6.10 is a child 6 years and 10 months
6.11 is a child 6 years and 11 months
The formatting cannot differentiate between 6.1 and 6.10.
Is it possible to get around these problems so that I can
a) record the ages so that they mean something in the
spread sheet
B) create a formula that will work out the age differences
between a chronological age of, for example, 8.1 (8 years
and 1 month) and a reading age of 7.4 (the difference
being 9 months)
Would really appreciate any help
