How to convert date to year in Excel & calculate age from date of birth
This tutorial explains the syntax and uses of the Excel YEAR function and provides formula examples to extract year from date, convert date to month and year, calculate age from the date of birth and determine leap years.
In a few recent posts, we have explored different ways to calculate dates and times in Excel and learned a variety of useful functions such as WEEKDAY, DAY, MONTH and WEEKNUM. Today, we are going to focus on a bigger time unit and talk about calculating years in your Excel worksheets.
In this tutorial, you will learn:
YEAR function in Excel
The YEAR function returns a four-digit year corresponding to the specified date, as an integer from 1900 to 9999.
The syntax of the Excel YEAR function is as simple as it could possibly be:
Where serial_number is any valid date of the year you want to find. In your Excel YEAR formulas, you can specify dates in several ways:
- Using the DATE For example, the following formula returns the year for 28 April, 2015:
=YEAR(DATE(2015,4,28)) - As a serial number representing the date (for more information on how dates are stored in Excel, please see Excel date format). The 28 day of April, 2015 is stored as 42122, so you can enter this number directly in the formula:
=YEAR(42122)Although you can enter a date as a serial numbers, this method is not recommended because date numbering may vary across different systems.
- As a cell reference, e.g.
=YEAR(A1) - As a result of some other formula. For example, you can use the TODAY() function to extract the year from the current date:
=YEAR(TODAY())
Simple YEAR formulas can even understand dates entered as text, like =YEAR("28-Apr-2015"). However, Microsoft does not guarantee correct results when a date is supplied as a text value.
The following screenshot demonstrates all of the above YEAR formulas in action, all returning 2015 as you might expect :)
How to convert date to year in Excel
When you work with date information in Excel, your worksheets usually display full dates, including month, day and year. However, for major milestones and important events such as product launches or asset acquisitions, you may want to view only the year without re-entering or modifying the original data. Below, you will find 3 quick ways to do this.
Example 1. Extract a year from date using the YEAR function
In fact, you already know how to use the YEAR function in Excel to convert a date to a year. The screenshot above demonstrates a bunch of formulas, and you can see a few more examples in the screenshot below. Notice that the YEAR function perfectly understands dates in all possible formats:
Example 2. Convert date to month and year in Excel
To convert a given date to year and month, you can use the TEXT function to extract each unit individually, and then concatenate those functions within one formula.
In the TEXT function, you can use different codes for months and years, such as:
- "mmm" - abbreviated months names, as Jan - Dec.
- "mmmm" - full month names, as January - December.
- "yy" - 2-digit years
- "yyyy" - 4-digit years
To make the output better readable, you can separate the codes with a comma, hyphen or any other character, like in the following Date to Month and Year formulas:
=TEXT(B2, "mmmm") & ", " & TEXT(B2, "yyyy")
Or
=TEXT(B2, "mmm") & "-" & TEXT(B2, "yy")
Where B2 is a cell containing a date.
Example 3. Display a date as a year
If it does not really matter how the dates are stored in your workbook, you can get Excel to show only the years without changing the original dates. In other words, you can have full dates stored in cells, but only the years displayed.
In this case, no formula is needed. You just open the Format Cells dialog by pressing Ctrl + 1, select the Custom category on the Number tab, and enter one of the below codes in the Type box:
- yy - to display 2-digit years, as 00 - 99.
- yyyy - to display 4-digit years, as 1900 - 9999.
Please remember that this method does not change the original date, it only changes the way the date is displayed in your worksheet. If you refer to such cells in your formulas, Microsoft Excel will perform date calculations rather than year calculations.
You can find more details about changing the date format in this tutorial: How to change date format in Excel.
How to calculate age from date of birth in Excel
There are several ways to calculate age form date of birth in Excel - using DATEDIF, YEARFRAC or INT function in combination with TODAY(). The TODAY function supplies the date to calculate age at, ensuring that your formula will always return the correct age.
Calculate age from date of birth (DOB) in years
The traditional way to calculate a person's age in years is to subtract the birth date from the current date. This approach works fine in everyday life, but an analogous Excel age calculation formula is not perfectly true:
The first part of the formula (TODAY()-B2) calculates the difference is days, and you divide it by 365 to get the number of years. In most cases, the result of this equation is a decimal number, and you have the INT function round it down to the nearest integer.
Assuming the date of birth is in cell B2, the complete formula goes as follows:
=INT((TODAY()-B2)/365)
As mentioned above, this age calculation formula is not always flawless, and here's why. Every 4th year is a leap year that contains 366 days, whereas the formula divides the number of days by 365. So, if someone was born on February 29 and today is February 28, this age formula will make a person one day older.
Dividing by 365.25 instead of 365 is not impeccable either, for example, when calculating the age of a child who hasn't yet lived through a leap year.
Given the above, you'd better save this way of calculating age for normal life, and use one of the following formulas to calculate age from date of birth in Excel.
The detailed explanation of the above formulas is provided in How to calculate age in Excel. And the following screenshot demonstrates a real-life age calculation formula in action:
=DATEDIF(B2, TODAY(), "y")
Calculating exact age from date of birth (in years, month and days)
To calculate an exact age in years, months and days, write three DATEDIF functions with the following units in the last argument:
- Y - to calculate the number of complete years.
- YM - to get the difference between the months, ignoring years.
- MD - to get the difference between the days, ignoring years and months.
And then, concatenate the 3 DATEDIF functions in a single formula, separate the numbers returned by each function with commas, and define what each number means.
Assuming the date of birth is in cell B2, the complete formula goes as follows:
=DATEDIF(B2,TODAY(),"Y") & " Years, " & DATEDIF(B2,TODAY(),"YM") & " Months, " & DATEDIF(B2,TODAY(),"MD") & " Days"
This age formula may come in very handy, say, for a doctor to display the exact age of patients, or for a personnel officer to know the exact age of all employees:
For more formula examples such as calculating age at a particular date or in a certain year, please check out the following tutorial: How to calculate age in Excel - formula examples.
Calculating leap years in Excel
As you know, nearly every 4th year has an extra day on February 29 and is called a leap year. In Microsoft Excel sheets, you can determine whether a certain date belongs to a leap year or a common year in a variety of ways. I'm going to demonstrate just a couple of formulas, which in my opinion are easiest to understand.
Formula 1. Check if February has 29 days
This is a very obvious test. Since February has 29 days in leap years, we calculate the number of days in month 2 of a given year and compare it with number 29. For example:
=DAY(DATE(2015,3,1)-1)=29
In this formula, the DATE(2015,3,1) function returns the 1st day of March in the year 2015, from which we subtract 1. The DAY function extracts the day number from this date, and we compare that number with 29. If the numbers match, the formula returns TRUE, FALSE otherwise.
If you already have a list of dates in your Excel worksheet and you want to know which ones are leap years, then incorporate the YEAR function in the formula to extract a year from a date:
=DAY(DATE(YEAR(A2),3,1)-1)=29
Where A2 is a cell containing the date.
The results returned by the formula are as follows:
Alternatively, you can use the EOMONTH function to return the last day in February, and compare that number with 29:
=DAY(EOMONTH(DATE(YEAR(A2),2,1),0))=29
To make the formula more user-friendly, employ the IF function and have it return, say, "Leap year" and "Common year" instead of TRUE and FALSE:
=IF(DAY(DATE(YEAR(A2),3,1)-1)=29, "Leap year", "Common year")
=IF(DAY(EOMONTH(DATE(YEAR(A2),2,1),0))=29, "Leap year", "Common year")
Formula 2. Check if the year has 366 days
This is another obvious test that hardly requires any explanation. We use one DATE function to return 1-Jan of the next year, another DATE function to get 1-Jan of this year, subtract the latter from the former and check if the difference equals to 366:
=DATE(2016,1,1) - DATE(2015,1,1)=366
To calculate a year based on a date entered in some cell, you use the Excel YEAR function exactly in the same way as we did in the previous example:
=DATE(YEAR(A2)+1,1,1) - DATE(YEAR(A2),1,1)=366
Where A2 is a cell containing the date.
And naturally, you can enclose the above DATE / YEAR formula in the IF function for it to return something more meaningful than the Boolean values of TRUE and FALSE:
=IF(DATE(YEAR(A2)+1,1,1) - DATE(YEAR(A2),1,1)=366, "Leap year", "Non-leap year")
As already mentioned, these are not the only possible ways to calculate leap years in Excel. If you are curious to know other solutions, you can check the method suggested by Microsoft. (As usual, Microsoft guys are not looking for easy ways, are they?) And you can find 14 other formulas on this blog.
Hopefully, this article has helped you figure out year calculations in Excel. I thank you for reading and look forward to seeing you next week.

Sir
I want to find out the age (years, months, days) on a particular date by using date of birth.
for example date of birth is 01/04/1984
I want to know my age on 25/08/2015 in years months and days by using MS Excel.
please help me.
Supposing that your date of birth is in A1 and the other date in B1, you can use the following formula:
=DATEDIF(A1, B1,"Y") & " Years, " & DATEDIF(A1, B1,"YM") & " Months, " & DATEDIF(A1, B1,"MD") & " Days"
This formula not work in my excel2013.
Name Date of Birth Today Age
Md.Biplab Hosen 02/11/2010 20/05/2016
Md. Azizul Hakim 12/03/2014 20/05/2016
Md. Badsha Miah 06/06/2014 20/05/2016
Md. Shariful Islam 07/06/2014 20/05/2016
Ripon Chandra Basak 11/06/2014 20/05/2016
So give me result with formula.
When I did this formula I get NAME?
I cannot get the bd and age to work
Thanks a lot, very useful for me
Would appreciate if you give provide a formula for below scenario. Thank you in advance.
Tenure shall be computed from the hiring date of the employee up to the effectivity date of separation
A fraction of six months shall be considered as one whole year and less than 6 months shall be considered in its exact proportion to one calendar year
Fifteen (15) to Thrity (30) days shall be considered as one month service while eight (8) to fourteen (14) days shall be condiered as half-month service.
Sample: Employee hiring date is July 25, 2000
a. Separated effective Jan 15, 2016, his tenure will be 16 years
b. Separated effective Jan 2, 2016, his tenure will be 15.46
Hello, Maeg,
Please see the formula below:
=DATEDIF(B3,C3,"y")+IF(DATEDIF(B3,C3,"ym")>=6,1+IF(DATEDIF(B3,C3,"md")>=15,1,IF(DATEDIF(B3,C3,"md")>=8,0.5,0)),IF(DATEDIF(B3,C3,"md")>=15,1,IF(DATEDIF(B3,C3,"md")>=8,0.5,0)))
Hi Ablebits, can you help please?
I have this formula working:
=DATEDIF(T78,I78,"Y")&"y"&DATEDIF(T78,I78,"YM") &"m"
where T78 is a date of birth and I78 is a specified date (start of course). It shows me the age of a student in years and months.
I'm trying to use conditional formatting to highlight where a student is under 18 years of age, but coming unstuck as it doesn't like the "y" and "m" text in the formula.
Many thanks for any advice.
Hi Becky,
"y" and "m" turn the output into a text string and that is why Excel cannot compare it with a number.
Try creating a conditional formatting rule with the following formula (where 78 is the topmost row with dates):
=DATEDIF($T78,$I78,"Y")<18
That gives a True or False, where I definitely need to see the age in years and months. I'll try something else, thanks for the help though.
Hi Becky,
Your initial request was "use conditional formatting to highlight where a student is under 18 years of age", and it it exactly what the formula does. To put it differently:
- If you enter the formula in a cell, it returns true / false.
- If you create a conditional formatting rule based on the above formula, it will highlight students under 18 years of age. If you need the detailed instructions on how to create a formula-based rule, please check out the following tutorial: Excel formulas for conditional formatting
To see the age in years and months, you can keep using your original formula.
Hi ! This blog is very useful ! I use the DATEDIF function to calculate the age of children each month (in column the months for the next 10 years, and in raw the children). Now, I need to use a color for the cell where the child reaches "3 years 0 months 0 days", another color for the where he reaches 4, another color for the cell where he reaches 5... and so on.
I try to use the conditional function but it doesn't work. I wonder if it is because of the format (X years, X months, X days). The format is in "standard" and I changed to "number" but it doesn't work...
So 2 questions :
- how to highlight (or use a specific format) when I use the datedif function ?
- how to highlight the cell where a child reaches 3 yo but not the other cells where is over 3 ?
I hope you can help me...

To calculate years of service, is it ok to use 12/31/2016 as the date instead of today's date? I'm using the formula: YEARFRAC(A1,B1,1). A1 being the 12/31/16 and b1 is the hire date.
Thanks,
How can I convert date of birth to age if not using 'Today'? I want to find the age as of January 1 of a particular year, and when I add that value in my equation I get a circular reference warning and an incorrect answer.
=DATEDIF(D2,E2,"Y")
Figured it out- put in the desired date next to date of birth and took the absolute value:
=ABS((D2-C2)/365.25)
The .25 takes care of leap year (occurs every 4 years)

how to remove point in between date of birth for eg-12.09.2011.
Hi Anurag,
For removing points i think you can use find & replace formula....
You can use key (Ctrl + F)
you have to do the following :-
1. Select Date
2. Use Ctrl + F
3. Find What : . (write dot in this tab)
4. Replace with : (leave this tab blank)
and then click "Replace" or for multiple selection you can use "Replace All"
Hi I have a list of excel sheets where patients ages are changed to Months (for e.g. 24, 36 mths etc). How do I calculate the average age of the list? How do I find the median and range of ages? This is a list of 375 patients. Please advise. Thank you.
Hello Julieanna,
To calculate the average age and the median of ages, you can use the AVERAGE and MEDIAN function, respectively. For example:
=AVERAGE(A2:A376)
=MEDIAN(A2:A376)
Is there a way to do calculate the average of a column that has the following information formatting: 2 Year(s), 6 Month(s), 19 Day(s) ... or is there a way to calculate that information into date format using date-to-age function.
Thanks so much.

Hi there,
I am trying to calculate age from year of birth only (not DOB). It seems to work using simple subtraction however when I click and drag the bottom right corner of the highlighted area it just copies and pastes the contents of the cell rather than using the subtraction formula for each cell in the age column. How do I correct this as I have a lot of data?

Suppose Date of Birth of a person is 07/12/1962. I want to calculate on what date he completes his 55 years of age.
Please comment. Its urgent. I think Svetlana Cheusheva can solve it.
Hello Ramteke,
If my understanding of the task is correct, you just need to add 55 years to the date of birth.
If so, please use this formula, where A2 is the date of birth:
=DATE(YEAR(A2) + 55, MONTH(A2), DAY(A2))

I have a spreadsheet that lists the employees start date. I am trying to separate into bands- 0-6M, 6M-1Y, 1Y-3Y,3Y-5Y,5Y+. Any ideas? I can add columns, then sort by, but this is a large organization, and I'm trying to automate as much as possible.
Thanks, everyone!
Trying to calculate the age of a student at the time they participated in a program. I have the date of birth and I have the year of the program in which they participated. Some students participated in multiple programs in various year.
Example:
Name Date of Birth Program Year
Larry Johnson 3/21/1982 College Scholarship 1999
Tyler Scott 12/01/1986 STEM Camp 2000
Tyler Scott 12/01/1986 College Scholarship 2001
Is there one formula I can use to calculate the estimated age at the time the student participated in the program?
Hello Crystal,
Supposing, the DOF is in column B, and the year of the participation in the program is in column D, you can use the following formula:
=DATEDIF(B2,DATE(D2, 1, 1),"y")
Because the exact date of the program is not defined, you can supply the date and month that you think are the most appropriate, like January 1 in the above example: DATE(D2, 1, 1)

Re: Calculating leap years...
=DAY(DATE(YEAR(A2),3,1)-1)=29
...can be simplified to
=DAY(DATE(YEAR(A2),3,0))=29
No need to subtract one, or use EOMONTH, as the DATE function already treats the Year/Month/Day arguments as offsets, not absolute values.

I need a formula that will calculate the number of days in the year over a period of time, not from January to December, that will take into account leap years. For example a date of contract starts 01/02/2016 and ends 31/01/2017 = 366 days. But, a contract that starts 01/04/2016 and ends 31/03/2017 is 365 days. How do I create a formula that will take this into consideration across several years and lines of data?

Hi All,
How can I add year fraction in excel. for e.g. I have 1st company experience as 2.6 (2 years 6 months) and next company experience is 16.10 (16 years 10 months) if I am adding both ideally my total experience is 19.4 (19 years 4 months) whereas if I am trying to calculate in excel, outcome is 18.76.
Please advise if I could use any alternate formula to sum up year fraction in excel.
Regards,
Vikram

Hello experts! I wish to calculate a student's current grade in school based on their graduation year. The trick is that students' grade levels change as of July 1st each year. Examples: A student's graduation year is 2021. Today is May 25, 2018. They are currently in 9th grade, but as of July 1st, 2018 will be in 10th grade. Perhaps it would be useful to assume that "graduation year X" really equals "June 30, year X"?
Here are the graduation years and corresponding grade levels through June 30th. As of July 1st, the grade level will need to rise by 1.
2029 - 1
2028 - 2
2027 - 3
2026 - 4
2025 - 5
2024 - 6
2023 - 7
2022 - 8
2021 - 9
2020 - 10
2019 - 11
2018 - 12
>2018 - grad
Further, could the formula cause the cell to be shaded yellow if the grade is 1-5, green if grade 6-8, blue if grade 9-12, and pink if grad?
It would also be useful to be able to do the opposite - calculate a grad year based on their current grade in school.
I know you must enjoy a good puzzle!
Many thanks.

How can i add year to date for payroll?
I was wondering how i can add year to date to an excel sheet gor payroll i have no current year to date on the spreadsheet right now?
April:
I think you're asking how to create a running total. This is where the latest data is added to the existing total to display the most current total. This procedure is repeated each time data is added so that the sheet shows the newest data and the newest total.
If this is what you want to do, you create a running total by entering a range formula which is part absolute reference and part relative reference. The range formula looks like this: $A$1:A1. Absolute reference with the "$", relative reference without it. Where A1 is the first cell in the range.
So, if the cell that will hold the payroll to be used in the Year-to-Date amount is in column "D" and the calculated running total is in column "E" the formula in column "E" will look like this:
=SUM($D$6:D6) formula in E6 displays Year-to-Date of amounts in cells above E6
=SUM($D$6:D7) formula in E6 displays Year-to-Date of amounts in cells above E7
=SUM($D$6:D8) formula in E6 displays Year-to-Date of amounts in cells above E8
After you've copied it down to row 6, 7 & 8. This will calculate the running total to row 8. Just continue to copy this formula down the "E" column to display the most current Year-to-Date.
Hi, I hope you can help me with the correct formula to calculate separation pay. What is the formula to show that a fraction of at least six (6) months shall be considered as one (1) whole year.

How can I get 24 years total years of service since 6 months should be considered an additional year? Thankful for your help in advance.
