I am sure this is easier than I am making it out but how do I subtract a date
in cell F11 from todays date? We want to actually calculate the number of
months in between the dates.

Thank you

That seems to work if I create a new field for todays date such as cell G11
'=Today()' and then doing =DATEDIF(F11, G11, m).

But is there a way to do so without creating a field for todays date?

57Caddy,

Did you Try:

   =Today()-F11

That seems to be what you are describing.

HTH,

Conan

=DATEDIF(TODAY(),G11,"m")

you need to put quotes around the m
