Here is the part that I am confused on. I have to calculate the number of years the employees have been working for us, I believe the function I need to use is TODAY but it is not working, how can I get that function to work? I also need to figure out how to use the functions when looking at 401K amounts compared to payroll and health care payments. If I want to get the sum of a few cells I would use SUM or TOTAL?
