Using Year of Birth, from DOB, in later calculations

D

Dan Cotts

I need to be able to determine full retirement age, based on Year of Birth,
from the Social Security tables - I've actually figured out how to get and
accurate YY MM (in custom formatting), by subtracting date of birth from date
of retirement. -

But when I try to use the Year of Birth, by formatting the DOB into YYYY, I
cannot use that figure in other calculations, because it has been converted
to the Excel serial number.

Any thoughts?

You can get the year with the formula =year(A1) assuming the date of birth is
in cell a1.

If you have a date in A2, and you want to convert that to a year, the
formula is =YEAR(A2). format the result as number or general, and not as a
date.
