Hi @Qasim_Jan 

 

@FreemanZ  Thanks for your sharing!

 

In response to your question, here are some details I provided:

 

Here's some dummy data

 

"Table"

vnuocmsft_0-1710832455742.png

 

Create a measure. Calculate age from the "Birth" date column and the "Today" date column.

 

Age = 
var _birthdate = SELECTEDVALUE('Table'[birthdate])
var _today = SELECTEDVALUE('Table'[Today])
var _year = DATEDIFF(_birthdate, _today, YEAR)
RETURN 
    IF(
        MONTH(_birthdate) <> MONTH(_today) || DAY(_birthdate) > DAY(_today), 
        _year - 1,
        _year
    )
    & " Year " &
    IF(
        MONTH(_birthdate) <> MONTH(_today) && DAY(_birthdate) < DAY(_today), 
        12 - MONTH(_birthdate) + MONTH(_today),
        IF(
            DAY(_birthdate) > DAY(_today),
            11 - MONTH(_birthdate) + MONTH(_today),
            0
        )
    )
    & " Month " &
    IF(
        DAY(_birthdate) < DAY(_today),
        DAY(_today) - DAY(_birthdate), 
        DAY(EOMONTH(_birthdate, 0)) - DAY(_birthdate) + DAY(_today) -2
    )
    & " Day"

 

Here is the result.

I was having the same problem when I needed to calculate age in Excel. To achieve this, you can use a simple formula involving the DATEDIF function. First, ensure that your date of birth is in one cell and the current date is in another. Then, in the cell where you want the age to appear, enter the formula =DATEDIF(B2, TODAY(), "Y") where B2 is the cell containing the date of birth. This formula calculates the difference in years between the date of birth and the current date, effectively giving you the age. Hope this helps!
