In order to calculate the time elapsed from a certain date, we will use a birthdate as an example

Enter birthday date in cell A1: 01/01/1980
To calculate the number of years from the date, enter the following formula in cell B1: =YEAR(TODAY())-YEAR(A1)

The result (rounded): 23 Years

For a decimal solution, use the following formula: =DATEDIF(A1,TODAY(),”m”)/12

The result: 23.25 Years
To calculate the number of months from the date, enter the following formula in cell D1: =DATEDIF(A1,TODAY(),”m”)

The result: 279 Months

To calculate the number of days from the date, enter the following formula in cell E1: =DATEDIF(A1,TODAY(),”d”)

The result: 8499 Days

    REVATI,

    EXample:-

    A B C D

    1 10.04.2012 11.04.2012 =(B1-A1) =(C1*0.20%)

    NOTE THAT A1 & B1 HAVE TO BE IN DATE FORMAT5, AND C1 HAS TO BE IN NUMBER FORMAT.

    DATE FORMAT SHOULD PREFERABLY BE DD/MM/YYYY.

    ADDITIONAL COLUMN FOR % COMMISSION ALSO CAN BE USED.

    REGARDS
