Lesson Description

The DATEDIF function in Excel is a bit of a mystery—no arguments pop up when you type it in, which can be confusing. However, it’s a great tool for calculating the difference between two dates, such as determining someone’s age based on their birthdate. Despite its usefulness, it’s not officially supported and may disappear in the future, leading to errors. Thankfully, there are alternatives like simple date subtraction or the YEARFRAC function to get a more accurate age. Learn how to use DATEDIF and explore better, more reliable options for your age calculations.
