I'm looking to create a calc that takes a number say age field = 36 and reverse calculates it to get a date of birth for that age, say 1/1/1971. All of the month and date fields will stay 1/1/ only the year field will end.

 

Thoughts?

I think you're going to want to revisit your requirements once you start using it, but this should get you the results you're asking for:

 

Date ( 1 ; 1 ; Year ( Get ( CurrentDate ) - table::AgeInYears )

It will ... if you add another parenthesis before your minus. :-)  And you obviously know that.  I did just such a typo just few days ago. ;-)

I should have indicated that it is a close parenthesis needed before the minus.  :^/

Date (1; 1; Year ( Get(CurrentDate) ) -age in years )
