Automatic updating of age groups columns
nUsing XP Home/ Office 2000.
I have two colums of students, column 'A' contains D.O.B, column 'B'' contains students age. Has anyone a formula so that Column B will automatically update the students age rather than having to manually update the current age of each student? Thanks in advance. |

Automatic updating of age groups columns
One way:
B2: =DATEDIF(A2,TODAY(),"y") In article , Paul JJ Adams wrote: nUsing XP Home/ Office 2000. I have two colums of students, column 'A' contains D.O.B, column 'B'' contains students age.

=DATEDIF(A1,NOW(),"y") & " y, " & DATEDIF(A1,NOW(),"ym") & " m, " & DATEDIF(A1,NOW(),"md") & " d" Mike "Paul JJ Adams" wrote: nUsing XP Home/ Office 2000.

Automatic updating of age groups columns
Note that this produces some weird results...
For instance on 3/1/2008: A2: 1/31/1990 B2: 18 y, 1 m, -1 d Also - never need to use NOW() rather than TODAY() - the time portion just gets thrown away.
