Creating a Custom Age Calculator in Excel Excel is a versatile tool, particularly useful for analyzing data. One common requirement is to calculate the exact age of an individual based on their date of birth.  While some people use nested IF functions or manual calculations for this purpose, others rely on the DATEDIF function available in Excel. However, the DATEDIF function may not be accessible in all Excel versions, such as in the Office 365 Personal license. For those using Excel for home or non-commercial purposes, upgrading to the business version may not be practical. To address this challenge, a simple solution is to create a custom formula using VBA (Visual Basic for Applications).
