You said you wanted to calculate it between two dates which is exactly what datedif does.
What exactly are you trying to do?

as in picture it supposes subtract between col a, b and result days in col c, months col d years in col e so far this is what i got but it doesn't success
VBA Code:
Sub ff()
Dim str, en As Date
Dim diff, diff1, dif2 As Integer
Dim lstrow As Integer
lstrow = Cells(Rows.Count, 5).End(xlUp)
str = Range("a" & lstrow).Value
en = Range("b" & lstrow).Value
diff = DateDiff("d", str, en)
diff1 = DateDiff("m", str, en)
diff2 = DateDiff("yyyy", str, en)
Range("c" & lstrow).Value = diff
Range("d" & lstrow).Value = diff1
Range("e" & lstrow).Value = diff2
End Sub

If you want to do that for the entire range, rather than just the last row, then you will have to loop through the range.

is it important do that by loop? if is possible i prefer do that without loop to avoid slowly the code

Why not just use a formula
