    Sometimes depending on the language selection it can happen that the quotes in the formula are not accepted and #NAME or error appears.That happened to me once too.
    Then you can quickly copy the formulas and off you go.


    =DATEDIF(F1;G1;"Y")

     

    Here in a worksheet with the formula in action

    Here is a small example with calculating the date.

     

    I would be happy to know if I could help.
