Hi everybody,

I have constructed a spreadsheet of my finances. I have a loan that will be paid off in 3.5 years (displayed in cell as 3.5). This figure is derived from total owed divided by monthly payments, divided by the 12 months.

The question is, as the 3.5 figure is derived from a formula itself (i.e. =D17/150/12), how can I show this as "3 Years 6 Months"? This can be shown in a different cell, that's not a problem, and in as many stages as possible.

I've tried using the DATEDIF function with no success.

Any help you could give me would be great.

Thanks!

P.S. The loan is interest free, saving a lot of hassle with the above formula!
 

Excel Facts

What do {} around a formula in the formula bar mean?
{Formula} means the formula was entered using Ctrl+Shift+Enter signifying an old-style array formula.
Thanks Andrew, works a treat!

Can I ask what the MOD function does? I know INT displays the figure as an integer.

Thanks again.
