I was asked to create a report showing contacts and one of the filters requested is only contacts who are over 40 years old. The contacts have a Birthdate field.

In the report filter, I can't figure out how to set this criteria. Should I use a relative date? I've tried using the date 40 years from now but I realize this won't be valid in a year's time, for example.

Thanks!

You may want to do some date math where you can do something like:

YEAR(Contact.Birthdate) <= YEAR(TODAY())-40

This is purely going to be based off year and not the actual month day, but this will get you close

  • You are suggesting a formula field on Contact?

  • Either that which evaluates to a boolean formula field, or, I thought you can do the same thing on a report as well?

    see this Idea - reports can compare one field against another but unless I'm mistaken, can't do field compares against a row level formula field

  • Someone recommended me to create a formula field on Contact (not visible on the page layout) like this: IF( NOT( ISBLANK( Birthdate ) ) , IF( DATE( 2000 , MONTH( Birthdate ) , DAY( Birthdate ) ) <= DATE( 2000 , MONTH( TODAY() ) , DAY( TODAY() ) ), YEAR (Today()) - YEAR ( Birthdate ), YEAR (Today()) - YEAR ( Birthdate ) -1 ), null) and then filter this field in the report filters Age >=40 and it works.
