You will need to use the AGE Function to create an Automatic Variable by: 1) entering AGE (or any other variable name that you would like to specify) in the Variable Name box; 2) selecting Numeric Calculation from the Type of Data to be Stored drop-down box; and 3) entering the following calculation in the Numeric Calculation/String Expression box: AGE(DOB,TODAY) where AGE is the Automatic Variable name; DOB is a previously collected Date Type Data Element for Birth Date; and TODAY is a previous Automatic Variable of type Today’s Date.
