Help with formula to work out age on arrival for paediatric A&E patients?

I am completing an audit in A&E.  I am looking for a formula to work out age on arrival (to A&E) from DOB (D2) and arrival date (C2).  As this is for paediatrics, the ages will range from 1 day up to 18 years.  The formulas I have found online don't seem to work.  For example I may need 4m 13days or just 28 days etc.  Would really appreciate your help

  • If you are entering the data into an Excel Table that grows to include any further data you may append, you could use

    = CONCAT( DATEDIF([@DOB], [@Arrival], {"y","ym","md"}) & {"y ","m ","d"})

    There are also dynamic array or traditional versions of the formula.
