TECH TIP: A FileMaker Age Calculation in ScriptMaker
Sometimes you need to calculate the age of a record or person, in years. But a good AGE calculation will take into account any leap days. Here is a FileMaker age calculation that I use within my databases. You can substitute your "birth date" field for the "Child DOB" field referenced below.
If ( (IsEmpty (Child DOB)); "";
( Year(Get(CurrentDate)) - Year(Child DOB) ) -
( If ( (Get(CurrentDate) ≤ Date(Month(Child DOB); Day(Child DOB); Year(Get(CurrentDate)))); 1; 0) )
)
/* This FileMaker age calculation accounts for leap years and leap days */
)
You can also rewrite this to use a local variable for Today=Get(CurrentDate).
