Hi everyone. I need help with excel. I want to be able to type in a
birthdate, and be able to see the age of the person. Is there a
formula that can change a birthdate into an age? For example, I want
to type 1984/09/16 into a cell and the cell in return show the number
24. Is there a way this is possible? Please help! Thank you!

Or....does excel have auto correct? where a birthday typed in can
automatically change to the age? If anyone can help me just let me
know. Thanks again!

Hi

Say A1 has the date 16/9/1984 (rememeber: it must be in date format)
In A2 enter =Today() this will give you the current date (15/2/2009)
Now enter the following formula in A3 =ROUNDDOWN((A2-A1)/365.25,0)
You now have the age. Remember you can replace rounddown with 'round'
or with 'roundup' function in the above formula depending on changes
(if any) in your requirement.

Thx

Assume that your data (i.e.) Date is in A1 Cell, just paste this
formula in A2 cell

For getting Age by Years
=DATEDIF(A1,TODAY(),"Y")

For getting Age with Years-Month-Days
=DATEDIF(A1,TODAY(),"Y")&" Years "&DATEDIF(A1,TODAY(),"YM")&" Months
"&DATEDIF(A1,TODAY(),"MD")&" Days"
