Hello,

I've created a database for our Girls Softball League. The Birthday of each girl determines where she plays that year. I have in my birthday field <(Today()-DOB/(365)> Which gives me how old they are. However, 2 things that I need to happen that I'm unsure of how to do.

#1. I only need it to calculate to December 31 2003. The question on thier application is &quot;How old is your child on December 31, 2003?&quot; Right now I have to go change my date in the computer to December 31,2003 to get the most accurate age of that child.

#2. The age is rounding up. I need for it to NOT round up.
(Right now I have it set for 3 digits passed the decimal so that I can have the most accurate age of the girl. But the Cards that I have to make can only have one digit passed the decimal. So right now I have some girls that show they are 15.0 when really they are 14.9.

Can someone help me with this? I appreciate any help and thank you in advance!

Best wishes,
Michelle2
 
I must be entering it in wrong. The formalua is not working.
 
It should work.
But this is even simpler and more accurate:

@DATEDIF(DOB,@DATE(2003,12,31),&quot;y&quot;)
 
My Approach must be different than yours. Everytime I put that formula in it tells me invalid formula. I don't have an @ in my formula selections. Also, my date field is making me do it (12,31,2003)

Yikes! lol What am I doing wrong?
