Are you tired of manually calculating ages or durations in Google Sheets? Say goodbye to the tedious calculations and hello to the AGE_CALC Named Function! With this powerful tool, you can easily determine the age in years, months, and days between two dates.
Syntax and Arguments of the AGE_CALC Named Function in Google Sheets
The AGE_CALC function takes two arguments: the date of birth (dob) and the end date (end_date). You can either input these dates directly or use cell references.
Here’s an example of how to use the AGE_CALC function:
=AGE_CALC(date(2002,5,10),today())In this example, the dob is May 10, 2002, and the end_date is today’s date. The function will return the age as “x years, x months, x days.”
If you want to calculate the age based on a specific date, you can modify the formula as follows:
=AGE_CALC(date(2002,5,10),date(2022,11,14))In this case, the function will return the age as “x years, x months, x days” between the dob and the specified end_date.
AGE_CALC Array Formula to Calculate Age or Duration
If you have a set of dates of birth and want to calculate the respective ages, you can use the AGE_CALC function as an array formula. For example, assume the dob is in column A and the end_date is in column B. You can insert the following formula in column C to calculate the ages for each row:
=AGE_CALC(A2:A,B2:B)This array formula will automatically calculate the ages for all the specified dates of birth and end dates.
Importing AGE_CALC Function
To use the AGE_CALC Named Function in your Google Sheets, you need to import it into your sheet. Simply make a copy of the sample sheet provided here and then select “Data” > “Named Function” from within your sheet. On the sidebar panel, select “Import function” and follow the on-screen instructions. It’s as simple as that!
