Calculate age from two date columns using workflow

Posted on by blatnjak_b

Hi!

I have a Dataverse table called "Wills". There are two date columns: bb_deceaseddate, and bb_birthdate.

When I add a new person into the database, I enter their birthdate. Once they are deceased, I have to enter their deceased date. When I do that their age of passing should be shown in a column bb_ageatpassing.

I was using a calculated column approach, which worked fine, but I was instructed that I have to use workflows or a Power Automate Flow, so the column can be used for the reports purporses.

Can anyone help me with this? Thank you. Regards, Bran

@a33ik That's what I suspected. Power Automate is the only option I have. Thank you for your help!

Re: Calculate age from two date columns using workflow

Hello,

It would require custom workflow activities for this to be used in regular workflows. As far as I remember there is no DateDiff functionality in OOB workflows.

I would recommend using Power Automate Flow.

The design should be the following - on update of Deceased Date use DateDiff, extract the number of days and then divide by 365.25. Check this post - https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/date-difference-power-automate-david-adediran/
