Best way to learn Power Query?
Read M is for (Data) Monkey book by Ken Puls and Miguel Escobar. It is the complete guide to Power Query.
You can use Datedif. Datedif is in nearly all versions of Excel but it was only documented in Excel2000.

With Date of Birth as a valid date and that cell named DOB use the formula below. Use a second date such as TODAY or the date that you cited (07/01/2002); note you can use cell references. If you want all the information in one cell with text, consider

=DATEDIF(DOB,TODAY(),"Y")&" years, "&DATEDIF(DOB,TODAY(),"ym")& " months, and "&DATEDIF(DOB,TODAY(),"md") &" days"

You can extract the sub parts and have each part in a separate cell.

Note: There are some anomalies with the day calculations.
