    Using Two Dates to Calculate Person's Age

    Hello!

    Okay -- working with families where ages of the children can make a difference, so need to know specific ages based off of "today's date" and the child's D.O.B.

    Basically, I need a formula that subtracts the D.O.B. from the current dates and gives me the number of years. Looked through the Date & Time formulas -- even tried a couple -- but I can't seem to find exactly what I need.

    Thanks!

    =datedif(today(), a1, "y")
    Entia non sunt multiplicanda sine necessitate

    Okay . . . perhaps I'm being particularly dense today (always a possibility) -- either I'm not getting how to use this formula, or I haven't explained myself well.

    Let's try this:

    A1 = 5/20/2014
    B1 = 3/15/2000
    C1 = 14

    Make more sense?
