MS Office Forum / Excel / New Users / September 2006Use Datedif but for future dates
I have a formula for identifying years, months, days from a past date to now. DATEDIF(C6,NOW(),"y")&" Y, "& DATEDIF(C6,NOW(),"ym")& " M, " & DATEDIF(C6,NOW(),"md") & " D" I'd like a formula that can produce the same format (years, months, days) between now and a future date. Any ideas? Thanks in advance, Bart Hi Bart Try this with the date in A2 =IF(TODAY()<=A2,DATEDIF(TODAY(),A2,"Y") & " y " & DATEDIF(TODAY(),A2,"ym") & " m","-"&DATEDIF(A2,TODAY(),"y")& " y " &DATEDIF(A2,TODAY(),"ym")& " m")  SignatureRegards Ron de Bruin http://www.rondebruin.nl >I have a formula for identifying years, months, days from a past date to now.

Thanks very much Bart > Oops, This is the correct one for YMD > [quoted text clipped - 14 lines] >> >> Bart Swap your references around. DATEDIF(NOW(),C6, etc. Earliest date must be first.
