Lists Formulas For Calculate Age From Date of Birth

[jinibob]

Hi,

In the below list I have a column labeled 'DoB (Date of Birth)' and another column labeled 'Age". How do I make the calculated age based on the date of birth automatically populate the 'age' field?

Thanks

@jinibob   You can do this with JSON column formatting.  I tested this solution by @RobElliott and it worked perfectly.   Date calculation on SharePoint lists between today and a birthdate - Microsoft Tech Community  

{
  "$schema": "https://developer.microsoft.com/json-schemas/sp/column-formatting.schema.json",
  "elmType": "div",
  "txtContent": "=floor((Number(@now)-Number([$DoB]))/(1000*60*60*24*12)/365*12)"
}

Thanks

Go to your column-> select the drop down (arrow pointing downwards) -> Column settings -> Format this column -> in popped up window, under format columns, select Advanced mode link at the bottom -> copy paste the json, Preview and Save

@jinibob Hi there,  here are some screen shots if it helps.

From the column view:

Select Column and click Advanced formatting

Then paste in the snippet  

Sounds like you are just getting into column formatting with JSON- so exciting.   Here's a great resource-  List-Formatting/view-samples at master · pnp/List-Formatting · GitHub

@jinibob Addition to above all responses, Here's Microsoft official documentation on this topic which might help you:

Use column formatting to customize SharePoint 

Note: column (JSON) formatting only customizes display of list view to show the formatted value. It does not store/save actual value in column. So, you will not be able to apply sort/filter based on these values in list view.
