Calculating Age Based on Birthdate

Calculating age based on birthdate is a common task in various applications, such as verifying the age of individuals for legal or financial purposes, or determining the age of a person for medical purposes. This article provides a step-by-step guide on how to calculate age based on birthdate using a date/time field and an equation field in a database management system, such as Knack.

1. Add a Date Field for the Birthday

To store the birthday value, you need to add a date/time field type to a table of your preference. In this example, we will be using the Contact table. Here are the settings for adding the date/time field:

  • Name: "Birthday"
  • Required: Yes
  • Default Date: "None"
  • Time Format: "Ignore Time"

2. Add an Equation Field to Calculate the Age

Next, you need to add an equation field type to calculate the age using the Birthday field you just added. In the same table, add an equation field with the following settings:

  • Name: "Age"
  • Equation Type: Date
  • Date Type: years
  • Result Type: Number

Use the following equation in the equation editor, which subtracts the birthday from the current date:

currentTime() - {Birthday}

3. Test the Equation

After adding the "Birthday" field and the "Age" field to the table, navigate to the Records section of the Builder and select the table. You will be able to see the new fields with the Age calculation:

Optional Features

You can use conditional equations to make the Birthday field optional or to add an extra layer of protection against bad data. This ensures that you can verify if there is any value stored in the Birthday field before proceeding with the calculation. In the event that there is no value present in the Birthday field, the equation will set the Age value to zero.

For example, you can use the following conditional equation:

{Birthday} > -2208988800 ? currentTime() - {Birthday} : 0

or

{Birthday} > -2208988800 & {Birthday} != 0 ? currentTime() - {Birthday} : 0
