Description

Sometimes you know a person's age for a given date, and want to know what the person's age was or will be on another.


There are 2 approaches:

(1) simple

(2) accurate

 

Simple:

(1) If a person is X years old in a given year, then year of birth is (given year) - X.

(2) For a second date, then the age would be (second date) - (year of birth).

 

If the birthdate is known, then the age can be determined more accurately. In Excel this can be determined by subtracting the various dates.
