Question: how to subtract dates in excel to get months and years?
Answer: In a new cell, type in =DATEDIF(A1,B1,”Y”). The “Y” signifies that you'd like the information reported in years. This will give you the number of years between the two dates. To find the number of months or days between two dates, type into a new cell: =DATEDIF(A1,B1,”M”) for months or =DATEDIF(A1,B1,”D”) for days.
