Hi there,
I want to display the age of animals based on the date they were born relative to the current date. That part I think I can figure out.
However, I want to display it in a way that if the number for the year or the month is zero, it would not appear in the cell
For example, a dog that is 3 months and 5 days would display "3 months, 5 days, but NOT: 0 Years, 3 months, 5 days. When the dog got to be 1 year and 5 days, it would display: 1 year, 5 days, but not 1 year, 0 months, 5 days... Understood? In other words: any years, months or year that would be "0" would not be displayed, but the rest would...
Thanks,
Locolindo
 

Excel Facts

Copy formula down without changing references
If you have =SUM(F2:F49) in F50; type Alt+' in F51 to copy =SUM(F2:F49) to F51, leaving the formula in edit mode. Change SUM to COUNT.
Hello,

Can you give your current way to create those age?
That way, it will be easy to modify it correctly.

Assuming C5 is where the birth date is stored, change as needed.

Code:
=IF(DATEDIF(C5,TODAY(),"y")=0,"",DATEDIF(C5,TODAY(),"y") &" years,")&IF(DATEDIF(C5,TODAY(),"ym")=0,"",DATEDIF(C5,TODAY(),"ym") &" months,") &IF(DATEDIF(C5,TODAY(),"md")=0,"",DATEDIF(C5,TODAY(),"md") &" days")
