Calculate the Age of a Person in Excel

Calculate the Age of a Person:


To claculate the age of a person, you can use TEXT function.
Formula to calculate the Age of a person:
=TEXT(NOW()-A3,"yy"" years ""m"" months ""dd"" days """) - where A3 is date of birth (DOB)




Formula is based on:
1) First , Calculate the difference of today date and date of birth i.e NOW()-A3
2) Then , format it with Text function in years months and days. TEXT(NOW()-A3,"yy"" years ""m"" months ""dd"" days """)

YEARFRAC along with INT function can also be used to find the age of a person (no. of years)
INT(YEARFRAC(A3,TODAY()))

Although DATEDIF function is not documented in Excel 5, 7 or 97, but it is in 2000.
You can also use DATEDIF function to calculate the age of a person.
DATEDIF(A3,TODAY(),"y")
DATEDIF(A3,TODAY(),"ym")
DATEDIF(A3,TODAY(),"md")

Thanks
