Calculating age in Excel
Posted on 2012-04-01
Hello,
Given a person's Date of Birth (DOB), what is the simplest formula in Excel that will accurately display that person's current age (in years)? I emphasize "current" because I'm interested in a formula that will auto-update the result each day (i.e. the age will increase automatically on the person's birthday).
Thanks

Until Barryhoudini comes along and posts how to do it correctly, here's my stab
=(B1-A1)/365.25
where A1 is the DOB and B1 is the current date.

Probably more than you want but - assuming your DOB is in A1:
=INT((TODAY()-A1)/365.25) & " years, " & INT(((TODAY()-A1)/365.25-I

=INT((TODAY()-A1)/365.25) & " years, " & INT(((TODAY()-A1)/365.25-I
