I’m trying to calculate age based on today minus date of birth in a UI only field but I’m not having luck getting the correct result I do get a result, but it is huge. I have tried assuming graduations of days, hours, minutes, and even seconds, but the number is still way too large. Anyone have ideas of how I would formulate this in UI only?

Javascript calculates dates in milliseconds… 


ah… thanks…


Just thought I’d post the formula to calculate someones current age based on their birth date.


FLOOR((TODAY() - {{BirthDate__c}})/ (365*3600 * 24 * 1000))

Thanks for posting this Bill. 


Hey guys. We probably don’t want the official response for this question to be “ah… thanks…”

Good catch Matt!


It was a well crafted response 😉


The Officially correct answer to calculate someones current age based on their birth date is:

FLOOR((TODAY() - {{BirthDate__c}})/ (365*3600 * 24 * 1000))

I take full credit. I would never think to say it is Bill McCullough who is the Skuid Wizard. I am the Walrus. Coo Coo CaChoo.
