What's the formula for calculating lifespan between two dates in google sheets (preferably one that works with dates prior to 1900 and having the results in Years, Months and Days)? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

This is what I've got at the minute fom messing about but it doesn't work. Because I'm an idiot =DATEDIF(C2,D2, "Y")&"years" =DATEDIF(C2,D2, "M")&"months" =DATEDIF(C2,D2, "D")&"days" Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

drol 12,169 Posted December 22, 2019 Has it never happened to you that, independently on what you search, Google is not able to find "last hour/last 24 hours" results when you use the search tools? It's been happening from yesterday morning for the first time, and it seems not to be linked with accounts, or anonymous navigation, or Browser I'm using (Google Chrome).

There's been a few "who they?" picks but they've never gone for someone as utterly unfamous as Dai Llewellyn since 2009. And in the haste to grab him for the list, they forgot Tony Hart, all round A lister who died (of well recorded ill health) on nearly the same day! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

And while possibly not DL fame level (?), Ricardo "KHAAAAN" Montalban died in that same week. Got curious so looked it up and David Vine died that week too! Got to be a rarity where 5 far more famous people than the DL success die in the same week... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lafaucheuse 4,096 Posted December 31, 2019 I red about Eduard Von Falz Fein who died on the 17th of november 2018 at the age of 106. He didn’t die because of his age but because of a fire accident in his housse. I find it quit impressive to see that his age is not the reason of his death. Do you know some old celebrities who died because or something else than their age or illness ? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

msc 18,560 Posted December 31, 2019 Well, there is a grim one. Robert Lees was a screenwriter who worked with Abbott and Costello and withstood McCarthy era blacklisting, only to be gruesomely murdered by a spree killer on the verge of his 92nd birthday. Also that Polish plane crash in 2010 that wiped out the entire government also killed a WW2 resistance leader vet who was in his 90s. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sure, but the example he gave was someone who was 106 years old. So your response citing a 22 year old was a bit out, by any standard. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
