Calculating Age in an Analytics Widget

Hello all, 

I feel like this should be an easy solution (I do this in Excel all the time), but I'm struggling to get anything to work in Analytics. 

I have a Pivot Table with Student name in one column and Date of Birth in another. I am trying to add a third column where the age is calculated, 

I normally do this in Excel with =((today's date - DOB)/365), and am struggling to translate this to a usable function in Analytics. 

Any ideas? Anyone who has a solution that already works?

Thank you!

  • Oooo, an aside - how did you all get birth dates into your analytics environment, was it a consulting request from Tessitura? We currently store ours in attributes and being able to import that over to Analytics would make so much of our reporting easier.

  • Also - I work for our dance academy, so 99/100 times, I'm looking for an individual record on a household, because I'm looking for a child. I don't want a DOB attribute for A1 or A2, or a household, I need it for an affiliate. The explanation I gave in my previous comment will pull an attribute from the household, not an individual.

    To get around this - I built a DOB field in the Custom Tab of an order. So whenever someone registers for a program (we have a handful of summer registrations coming in daily these days for summer) I go in and add the DOB to the order custom field. It's an extra step, but then I also add the child as the initiator and recipient. So that I can pull reports in Analytics that have an initiator (child) name tied to the DOB on the order. 

    I just try to get parents to register kids separately, and keep their orders separate.
