Calculate Age at the time of hospital admission

Is it possible in QlikView to calculate a patient's age in years at the time of  hospital admission? 

I need help with the expression using the 2 dates:  DOB and Admission_date_time.

Is this done in a list box or table? 

I'm working on my very first QlikView project and seem to be stumped.

Thank you, Sue

Hi:

You can use age function to calculate age in years.

Syntax:  age(Admission_date_time, DOB)

It depends on the way you would like to report this value in the Dashboard i.e. as a list box or in chart.

Hope it helps..

Hi,

You can use  the following expr to calculate age

year(Date_of_Admission) - year(DOB)

Thank you for your help.  I used year(Date_of_Admission) - year(DOB) in my data script.

other way is:

timestamp(Date(Date_of_Admission) - Date(DOB), 'Y')
