Hello

I have a simple spreadsheet in which I keep track of mortgage payments.

My mortgage repayment term is 22 years and 11 months. Beside each months' payment, I would like to count down the number of years and months left.

For example, 22 years, 9 months > 22 years, 8 months etc

I just cannot find a way to do this with a formula

Regards
Chris
 

Excel Facts

What does custom number format of ;;; mean?
Three semi-colons will hide the value in the cell. Although most people use white font instead.
A2: =TODAY()
B2: =31/07/2045
C2: =DATEDIF(A2,B2;"Y")
D2: =DATEDIF(A2,B2,"YM")
E2: =DATEDIF(A2,B2,"MD")

Solution
A2: =TODAY()
B2: =31/07/2045
C2: =DATEDIF(A2,B2,"Y")
D2: =DATEDIF(A2,B2,"YM")
E2: =DATEDIF(A2,B2,"MD")
The days were unnecessary, so I discarded them from the dated if and used =CONCATENATE(C2, " Years & ", D2, " Months") in an adjacent cell to make it display 22 Years & 10 Months

Thanks for your help with this.

Glad having been of some help(y).
Now, with only your mortgage repayment date in B2 (or wherever) and no other help cells you can use:

=CONCATENATE(DATEDIF(TODAY(),B2,"Y") & " Years " & DATEDIF(TODAY(),B2,"YM") & " Months")
