Tem um erro nas fórmulas, a sintaxe correta é com ponto e vírgula, as planilhas do Google não aceita somente a vírgula! Quando troquei a vírgula pelo ponto e vírgula, funcionou corretamente

Hello Juscelino,

Thanks for your comment. You are right. In Portugal and Spain, we should change the comma to the semicolon so the formula can work. The formulas in the article are more for universal usage. And we did not consider the special cases, like yours. Thanks for pointing that out. Have a great day.

Sincerely,
Mandy

Hej !

Tak for et godt site.

Hvordan bregner jeg om en person / dato har fødselsdag, og viser det i en celle med fx en QUERY syntax ?

Jeg har en række med datoer, og øsnker på et dashoard, at der kommer navne frem vis en dato rammer den aktuelle dato vi har :)

HOW TO DO :) ?

Awesome. Is it possible to set TODAY to a future date so you know their age on a specific date?

Or use this formula to get the age of the years, months and days:
=datedif(A2, B2, "Y") & " years, " & datedif(A2, B2, "YM") & " months, " & datedif(A2, B2, "MD") & " days"

Hello, Terry,
To calculate the age from a specific future date, you can apply the following formula:

=IF(A2,DATEDIF(A2,B2,"Y"),"")
