As for Tracy's problem, she seems to want the age in completed years. The formula for that is

=DATEDIF(A1,A2,"y")

where A1 contains the birthdate and A2 the 2nd date. If you want the current age, use something
like

=DATEDIF(A1,TODAY(),"y")

I need help with a similar problem. I am making a spreadsheet with the
names, DOB, and DOD dates for persons in a church cemetery. I am having
trouble with Excel recognizing dates prior to 1900 as dates. I would
also like to compute the date aged in years, moths, and days if it is
possible. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hi does anyone know how to calculate age from birth dates
in excel (e.g. 13/07/1983 = 20). I need to work out the
ages of 2000+ people and the data I have is in birth date
format. It will save a lot of work and time if I can key
in a formula and convert them straight away.

Thanks,
Tracy
