Modules & VBA :: Calculating X Years / X Months And X Days Between Two Dates

Find the difference between two dates is simple if you're simply looking for the number of days between them. However, if you're looking to express the difference in a bit more user-friendly way, you can use the following code to calculate the difference in years, months, and days. The code accounts for zero values, plurals and the Oxford comma. Further, it automatically sets the later of the two dates to the End date, so the dates can be used interchangeably.

Examples:
June 4, 2010, July 3, 2012 returns "2 Years and 29 Days"
June 4, 2010, July 5, 2011 returns "1 Year, 1 Month and 1 Day"
June 4, 2010, June 5, 2010 returns "1 Day"

Code:
Function DiffOfTwoDates(dtmDate1 As Date, dtmDate2 As Date) As String

Dim dtmStart As Date, dtmEnd As Date
Dim strDiff As String ' Resulting String
Dim yDiff As Integer ' Year Difference
Dim mDiff As Integer ' Month Difference
Dim dDiff As Integer ' Day Difference
Dim CommaLoc As Integer
