MS Office Forum / Excel / Worksheet Functions / February 2008How to convert a number to years, months, days?
I am sure this is pretty simple, but I can't seem to figure it out. I have this number that I want to convert in years, months, days format. What formula to use to get the munber 505 converted to that. It is not the difference between two dates, so I can't use datedif. thanks. Format the number as a date. Dates are numbers is Excel. Jan 1, 1900 is day 1, Feb 10, 2008 is day 39,488, Dec 31, 9999 is day 2,958,465. So, 505 formatted as a date is 5/19/1901 - May 19, 1901.

In other words, what is your date system?  SignatureKind regards, Niek Otten Microsoft MVP - Excel |I am sure this is pretty simple, but I can't seem to figure it out.
