I have a formula inserted for Age as =Year(Now())-Year(G2))
G2 is the DOB column where i enter the actual DOB.
Unfortunately if the DOB is blank the Age column autocreates 111.
Can you help me insert an If statement to this Age formula so that it returns a blank cell if no DOB is entered yet?
i've tried a few combinations and it just isn't working for me today.
many thanks:confused:

You can revise the formula like this

=IF(G2="","",YEAR(NOW())-YEAR(G2))

....but if you want the actual age at last birthday then that formula won't be completely accurate (for example if DOB is 13/07/1992 then current age is 18 until July). So if you want that try DATEDIF, i.e.

=IF(G2="","",DATEDIF(G2,TODAY(),"y"))
