Hover your mouse over the bottom right of K2, and then drag it down.

No worries. I thought you could later do a sort on J2 to see who had been hanging about the longest.

Did you get the copy down OK?

How many people don't have a date joined in cell K2?

There is no point in doing the calculation if date joined is blank.

For those that don't have a date joined simply remove the formula in Jxx.

Or modify the formula to include an IF function.

814266 2009-09-27 04:43:00 Hi Sweep yes i have thought of that, just so you know what i am doing i am crew manager for a coastguard unit 35 crew (Rows) 28 headings (Colums) a bit of a handful plus it needs updating, I was thinking of adding a new sheet for each crew member then we can track things like training, medical, qualls, add a photo etc and yes somebody going to say i should use Access but i dont have it and would know how to use it.
All sugestions and help appreciated
Cheers

814267 2009-09-27 04:52:00 =IF(K2<>"",ROUNDDOWN((TODAY()-K2)/365.25,1),"No join date")

or similar. This'll work only if K2 is blank.

Please be aware my excel knowledge is self taught, so there's probably a much cleaner way of doing it.
