Hallo everyone. I'm using the DateDiff function to calculate the age of members in the table. But it is not working. An error message keeps coming which says: "The expression DateDiff("yyyy",[date_of_birth],Now()) cannot be used in a calculated column." I set the data type of the age field to "Calculated". And even if I use:
Year(Now())-Year([date_of_birth])
It gives the same error.
What is the mistake I am doing?
