DATEDIF returning #NAME?
I'm using Microsoft Office 365.
I've discovered the DATEDIF formula in this forum, but it's not to working for me.
I've tried several variations and get the #NAME? error.
Examples:
- DATEDIF(AB2,AA4,D)
- DATEDIF("11/09/2020","04/01/2021",D)
- DATEDIF(AB2,"04/01/2021",D)
- DATEDIF("11/09/2020",AA4,D)

geneseesquire I know this thread is a bit older but I thought I would point out my mistake as I had the same exact issue. In the formula I typed in "DATEIF" leaving off the "D" at the end of DATE. "DATEDIF" is what needs to be typed.
- Thanks, this was exactly mine problem just now.
The first two arguments must be dates: references to cells containing dates, or expressions that evaluate to dates.
The third argument must be a string: text enclosed in quotes, or a reference to a cell containing a string, or an expression that evaluates to a string.
For example:
=DATEDIF(AB2,AA4,"D")
=DATEDIF(DATE(1984,1,1),TODAY(),"Y")
