Working out age from "Day" "Month" "Year"

**timmyc** · 02-05-2006, 09:59 AM

I would like to know how would I work out someone's age in number ("20") from having three seperate columns of:

Day Month Year
14 March 1986

note, this is not in the form dd/mm/yyyy in one cell but in three seperate columns. I am thinking there may be two steps e.g. on step to get it into dd/mm/yyyy then another to put it into age?

Thanks in advance, Tim

Perhaps,

=DATEDIF(A1&"-"&B1&"-"&C1,NOW(),"y")

Try this, it has worked for me.

=YEAR(TODAY()-DATEVALUE(A1&B1&C1))-1900

one way with a lookup table
January 1
February 2
March 3
April 4
May 5
June 6
July 7
August 8
September 9
October 10
November 11
December 12

=DATEDIF(DATE(I5,VLOOKUP(H5,K4:L15,2,0),G5),NOW(),"y")
