I am using the following formula to calculate years months and days in Excell 2007
=DATEDIF(C7,D7,"y") & " yrs, " & DATEDIF(C7,D7,"ym") & " mths, " & DATEDIF(C7,D7,"md") & " days"

C7 3/24/04
D7 1/4/08

What is returned is 3 years, 9 months, 136 days
How might if fix it show the correct days?

How to change case of text in Excel?
Use =UPPER() for upper case, =LOWER() for lower case, and =PROPER() for proper case. PROPER won't capitalize second c in Mccartney
Sort by date Sort by votes
Having read your edited post #1 I guess that you are using m/d/y date format. Please bear in mind that I am using d/m/y. This is my result

Sheet4

<table style="font-family: Calibri,Arial; font-size: 11pt; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255); padding-left: 2pt; padding-right: 2pt;" border="1" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"> <colgroup><col style="font-weight: bold; width: 30px;"><col style="width: 102px;"><col style="width: 97px;"><col style="width: 24px;"><col style="width: 206px;"></colgroup><tbody><tr style="background-color: rgb(202, 202, 202); text-align: center; font-weight: bold; font-size: 8pt;"><td> </td><td style="border: 3px outset rgb(240, 240, 240);">C</td><td style="border: 3px outset rgb(240, 240, 240);">D</td><td style="border: 3px outset rgb(240, 240, 240);">E</td><td style="border: 3px outset rgb(240, 240, 240);">F</td></tr><tr style="height: 18px;"><td style="border: 3px outset rgb(240, 240, 240); background-color: rgb(202, 202, 202); text-align: center;">7</td><td style="text-align: right;">24/03/2004</td><td style="text-align: right;">04/01/2008</td><td> </td><td>3 yrs, 9 mths, 124 days</td></tr></tbody></table>
<table style="border-style: groove; border-color: rgb(0, 255, 0); font-family: Arial; font-size: 10pt; background-color: rgb(255, 252, 249); color: rgb(0, 0, 0);"><tbody><tr><td>Spreadsheet Formulas</td></tr><tr><td><table style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 9pt;" border="1" cellpadding="2" cellspacing="0"><tbody><tr style="background-color: rgb(202, 202, 202); font-size: 10pt;"><td>Cell</td><td>Formula</td></tr><tr><td>F7</td><td>=DATEDIF(C7,D7,"y") & " yrs, " & DATEDIF(C7,D7,"ym") & " mths, " & DATEDIF(C7,D7,"md") & " days"</td></tr></tbody></table></td></tr></tbody></table>

Yes of course they shouldn't :oops:

I think you've found another bug - take a look at the below comparing DATEDIF with barry's formula from the link I posted above.
