If I have a cell that has a number, say 59. I would like to convert that in another cell into years and months, for example 59 months would equal 4 years 11 months. Is there a way to display that as 4.11
Thanks

Read M is for (Data) Monkey book by Ken Puls and Miguel Escobar. It is the complete guide to Power Query.
like this one better coz you can still with the result as a number in case you need to do any math with that later on... plus it is shorter!

very old thread, but I want the same thing - BUT - my cell already has a formula saying =(YEAR(B5)-YEAR(E5))*12+MONTH(B5)-MONTH(E5). How can I edit it so I get years and months here in this cell?

If you want to see "-1 Year and 3 Month", try this:

=TRUNC(A1/12) & " Years and " &MOD(ABS(A1),12)& " Months"

If you want to see "-1 Year and -3 Month", try this:

=TRUNC(A1/12) & " Years and " &SIGN(A1)*MOD(ABS(A1),12)& " Months"
