Excelchat Expert

To determine the age you need to find the difference between dates.
Excelchat Expert
24/11/2017 - 08:12
See the difference at the col D
User
24/11/2017 - 08:12

Excelchat Expert

The number is the age by days.
User
24/11/2017 - 08:12

Excelchat Expert
24/11/2017 - 08:13
=C2-A2
Excelchat Expert
24/11/2017 - 08:13
date at col C - date at col A
Excelchat Expert
24/11/2017 - 08:14
It you need the date by years you just need to divide the result by 265

Excelchat Expert

Yes
Excelchat Expert
24/11/2017 - 08:27
You need to round the age.
Excelchat Expert
24/11/2017 - 08:28
Or you need to calculate years and months and days.
User
24/11/2017 - 08:28
okay so now i want to subtract column c from column d discharge date
User
24/11/2017 - 08:29
is it =c2-f2
Excelchat Expert
24/11/2017 - 08:29
Why is that?
User
24/11/2017 - 08:30
because c is entry day into service and f is discharge day
User
24/11/2017 - 08:30
so i need to know how many days they stayed
Excelchat Expert
24/11/2017 - 08:30
Ok
Excelchat Expert
24/11/2017 - 08:34
But you need to the formula =F2-C2
Excelchat Expert
24/11/2017 - 08:35
because discharge is greater than entry date.
User
24/11/2017 - 08:36
