I have 2 dates 10-June-19 and today's Date (eg19-Dec-20), i used the formula as: =(DATEDIF([@[Joining Date]],TODAY(),"Y")&"."&DATEDIF([@[Joining Date]],TODAY(),"ym")). My Query is:

1.) How can i have a result as 1.06 (i.e. .06 as the months), instead of 1.6
2.) If in case the decimal reaches the .12, it will add to the whole number so it will be 2
3.) if i have a total years of 1.06 and i wanted to add in 3.10, how can i have a result of 5.04 (i.e. 5yrs and 4 months)


Thanks

Lock one reference in a formula
Need 1 part of a formula to always point to the same range? use $ signs: $V$2:$Z$99 will always point to V2:Z99, even after copying
This is formula:
Excel Formula:
=(DATEDIF($A$12:$A$30,TODAY(),"Y")&"."&IF(DATEDIF($A$12:$A$30,TODAY(),"ym")<10,0&DATEDIF($A$12:$A$30,TODAY(),"ym"),DATEDIF($A$12:$A$30,TODAY(),"ym")))
2. It doesn't reach .12, if the months was same it return 0 not 12,
3. for adding don't have problem, it added.

For Item 3 use this formula:
If your Previous formula is in F2 and adding value in G2
Excel Formula:
=IF(MOD(F2+G2,1)>=0.12,F2+G2+1-0.12,F2+G2)

Change formula to this:
Excel Formula:
=IF(MOD(F2+G2,1)>0.11,F2+G2+1-0.12,F2+G2)
