Excel formulas calculation age

[nsit]

I need help with a formula to calculate age.
I have separated the dd/mm/yyyy (C1/D1/E1) into 3 different columns.
Is there a way for me to still calculate age?

Thanks

try this in F1:

=YEAR(TODAY())-E1

or if you need only compared to 2009. just write: =2009-E1

Is it possible to take the month and date into consideration (within the formula) as well?

If your values in C1:D1 are simply numeric values (not real Excel dates), then
you will need to join the values and use the TEXT function to return a real date.


Adjust this formula for your cell references and date format:

=(TODAY()-TEXT(B1&"/"&A1&"/"&C1,"MM/DD/YYY"))/365

"you will need to join the values and use the TEXT function to return a real date."
can you please explain this further.

I changed the format of the column into text, and tried to put in the formula, but is still only taking into consideration the year solely.

Try this (although i think it's not best solution):

=IF(DATE(YEAR(TODAY());D1;C1)>TODAY();YEAR(TODAY())-E1-1;YEAR(TODAY())-E1)

Also, it's not good to use TODAY() function so many times because it's volatile function and it will slow down your excel workbook.
It's better to put in one cell =TODAY() (e.g. A1) and then refer to that cell:

=IF(DATE(YEAR($A$1;D1;C1)>$A$1;YEAR($A$1)-E1-1;YEAR($A$1)-E1)

You don't need to format the column into text. You only need to join together the values in C1:E1 into a valid text string that Excel can recognize as a date. The TEXT function serves this purpose.

See attached for example.

maybe this...

=2009-E1-MAX(0;MOD(MONTH(TODAY());D1)-6)
