Hello,

If there a way to subtract Years, Months, Days from Years, Months, Days?

ie.
cell A1 has 2894
cell B1 has 7 years, 11 months, 3 days formula in the cell B1 is =DATEDIF(0,A1,"y") & " Years " & DATEDIF(0,A1,"ym") & " Months " & DATEDIF(0,A1,"md") & " Days "

cell A2 has 981
cell B2 has 2 years, 8 months, 7 days formual in cell B2 is =DATEDIF(0,A2,"y") & " Years " & DATEDIF(0,A2,"ym") & " Months " & DATEDIF(0,A2,"md") & " Days "

I would like to know the difference between B1 and B2 to show years months days in B3

Thank You!

Excel Facts

Whats the difference between CONCAT and CONCATENATE?
The newer CONCAT function can reference a range of cells. =CONCATENATE(A1,A2,A3,A4,A5) becomes =CONCAT(A1:A5)
Is there any reason you can't subtract A2 from A1?
Cell Formulas
RangeFormula
C1C1=DATEDIF(0,A1-A2,"y") & " Years " & DATEDIF(0,A1-A2,"ym") & " Months " & DATEDIF(0,A1-A2,"md") & " Days "
B1:B2B1=DATEDIF(0,A1,"y") & " Years " & DATEDIF(0,A1,"ym") & " Months " & DATEDIF(0,A1,"md") & " Days "


Although all the days are subjective as they are based on the dates from 1900 to1902 and 1900 to 1907
