Ongoing calculation between two dates

I have a colum of 11 items - each being created at various dates over the last three years. I need a formula that calculate the time (expressed in year or months) between the date of creation and today (meaning any time i open the document the time will be up-to-date). Can anyone help pls?

RE: ongoing calculation between two dates

Hi Adele

Thank you for your question.

I have attached a file which I think shows how you would solve this, using a couple of different functions:

1. The TODAY function is entered in the yellow cell - this always displays the current date.

2. A formula using the YEAR and MONTH functions in the orange cells which figures out how many months between the date in column A and the current date.

I hope this helps.

Excel tip:

Editing Formulas in Excel Cells

Although people like to edit a formula in the Formula bar, you can also edit a formula in the cell.

To do this select the cell and press "F2". This puts Excel into Edit mode, and you can move around in the cell and make any necessary changes.

Double-clicking the cell also puts Excel in Edit mode.
