My question is that if it is possible that we can display the difference of two dates as Years, Months and days. For example

A B C
1 6/23/2002 11/30/2009 7 year 5 month 11 days

The actual difference between dates in B1 and A1 is 7 Years, 5 Months and 11 days. Normally we see that we can calculate difference in terms of years, or months or days. But I don't know if excel provides a function which can display the result as completely as I showed in C1.

If anyone knows, please help.

Thanks in advance.

This is the closest I can get it :-


A B C
1 6/23/2002 11/30/2009 7 year 5 month 11 days

B A C
9,11,30 2,06,23 7,5,7

##################################################

MY AGE TO-DAY
B A C
2009,12,22 1930,10,02 79,2,20
##################################################

What I am saying is that you do not need anything special to get this.
Express the date in YEAR, MONTH and DAYS and then subtract on sight.
I believe this would be accurate enough.

Try this in C1:

=DATEDIF(A1,B1,"y") & " years, " & DATEDIF(A1,B1,"ym") & " months, "&((B1-A1)-(DATEDIF(A1,B1,"y")*365))-((DATEDIF(A1,B1,"ym"))*30) & " days"


6/23/2002 11/30/2009 7 years, 5 months, 12 days
1/1/2007 7/15/2009 2 years, 6 months, 16 days
