Date calculations

When subtracting one date from another, you get the difference between the dates in days. Apart from dividing by 365, is there an exact way of getting the answer to be in years. Or are there any other methods for doing this?

RE: Date calculations

Hi Eric, thanks for the post

You can use the DATEDIF function, The DATEDIF function computes the difference between two dates. The DATEDIF function is as follows:

=DATEDIF (Date1,Date2,Interval)

Please note that Date1 must be less than (earlier) or equal to Date2. Please note that Interval must be one of the following codes: "d" (in days), "m" (in months), "y" (in years) expressed in quotes

Hope that answers your question

Tracy

Excel tip:

Quick Absolute Cell References

When entering cell references in a formula you probably click the cell, or you may type in the cell reference. If you require any of the 4 variations, press the F4 key now before you press Enter to toggle around the relative and absolute entries ($signs).

Note that the F4 key outside of editing a formula is the Repeat key to repeat a previous action.
