asked on Excel formula to count how many months from today (cell has formula already)
Hi Experts,
I have another excel request.
I need help with a formula that tells me the difference in months.
I can do this with static dates just fine,. But my date cell has a formula already and I get an error.
See attached dummy sheet as well.
Thanks
Chris

This can be done with the DATEDIF function
=DATEDIF(Start, Finish, Option)
or in your sheet:
=DATEDIF(B4,D4,"m")
=DATEDIF(Start, Finish, Option)
or in your sheet:
=DATEDIF(B4,D4,"m")

Rob I tried that but because I have formulas populating the source of the date cell I get errors
The source cells having formulas shouldn't cause any issue
If you want to disregard the days and just look for the difference in the months, you can try this:
=MONTH(D4)-MONTH(B4)
Paul
=MONTH(D4)-MONTH(B4)
