judyray Posted January 23, 2005 Share Posted January 23, 2005 I find the age of a person by using the formula (Get ( CurrentDate )-Birthdate) / 365 The result is a number. The Birthdate is a date. If I use a birthdate of 2/5/1925, I get the answer 80.019 (+more decimals) It is not February yet, so the age should not be over 80 yet. This is a strange rounding error or is the basic calculation wrong? This is with FM PRO 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
comment Posted January 23, 2005 Share Posted January 23, 2005 The basic calculation is wrong. On average, there are 365.2425 days in a Gregorian year. So either use (Get ( CurrentDate )-Birthdate) / 365.2425 or see here for a more traditional age calculation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
