=CONCATENATE(IF(INT(A2/365)>0,CONCATENATE(INT(A2/365)," Years "),""),CONCATEN ATE(IF(INT(MOD( A2,365)/30)>0,C

ONCATENATE(INT( MOD(A2,365)/30) ," Months "),""),CONCATEN ATE(IF(MOD(MOD( A2,365),30)>0,C ONCATENATE(MOD(
MOD(A2,365),30) ," Days "),""),)))

My formula is ok, When you will copy the formula it will contain some space in word CONCATENATE
Like C ONCATENATE/CONCATEN ATE. Please correct the word concatenate. Then i think it will work.

hello, thanks for the feedback but it's still not working, can you please send me your email so i can show you the table am doing ?! maybe
some mistake is there. my email is omeryousif7@gmail.com. now my final table will contain number of days, like for example after the
calculations the result will be (123) which is number of days so i want to convert it into ( year , month , days ). or if you have a formula to
calculate the defferance between two dates and show the results as ( x year , x month , x days ) that would be super. waiting for your feedback
and thanks.

To remove "0 years", "0 months" and "0 days":

=IF(DATEDIF(C9,D9,"y")=0,"",DATEDIF(C9,D9,"y")&" year"&IF(DATEDIF(C9,D9,"y")1,"s",""))&" "&IF(DATEDIF(C9,D9,"ym")=0,"",

DATEDIF(C9,D9,"ym")&" month"&IF(DATEDIF(C9,D9,"ym")1,"s",""))&" "&IF(DATEDIF(C9,D9,"md")=0,"", DATEDIF(C9,D9,"md")&"
day"&IF(DATEDIF(C9,D9,"md")1,"s",""))
