Age Calc Help please

I have a formula that was given to me a few years ago.It has worked
well until I updated to FMP 9 and now it is not returning the correct
results:

Case (

GetAsNumber ( DOB ) > GetAsNumber ( Date ); "Unborn";
GetAsNumber ( DOB ) = "" or GetAsNumber ( Date ) = "";"";
Date - DOB <= 30 ; Date - DOB & Case( Date - DOB = 1 ; "day" ; "
days" ) ;
( Year( Date - DOB ) - 1 ) * 12 + ( Month( Get ( CurrentDate ) - DOB )
- 1 ) < 13 ;
( Year( Date - DOB ) - 1 ) * 12 + ( Month( Get ( CurrentDate ) - DOB )
-1 ) & " mo" ;

Year( Date - DOB ) - 1 & " yr" )


Recently I updated to FMP 9 and it is now returning wrong values for
months - i.e. between 10 and 12 months it will say 1 or 2 when really
it should be 11 or 12.

Can you think what might be the problem?

Also is there any way that it could give me the age in Months and
years right up to 24 months i.e for anything up to that 16 ... 23
months and after that back to 2, 3 , 4... years

Thanks in advance if you can help

Regards

John

I use a very simple-minded formula to calculate age:

int((Date1 - Date2)/365.25)

in which Date1 represents today's date or some other event date, and
Date2 represents the birthdate

Give this formula a go.

Year ( Get ( CurrentDate ) ) - Year ( DOB ) - (DayOfYear ( Get (
CurrentDate ) ) < DayOfYear ( DOB )) & " years and " &

Case (

DayOfYear ( Get ( CurrentDate ) ) ≥ DayOfYear ( DOB ); DayOfYear (
Get ( CurrentDate ) ) - DayOfYear ( DOB );

DayOfYear ( Get ( CurrentDate ) ) + (DayOfYear(Date(12;31;Year (
Get ( CurrentDate ) )) - DayOfYear ( DOB )))) & " days"
