Age at death in diagrams

KevinG · Post by **KevinG** » 09 Mar 2007 10:59

Hi, I'm trying to add Age at Death in my diagrams, but this seems only to work when a specific date of birth exists. Where I only have a date of baptism I have added birth events with date Bef. 'date of baptism'. FH is happy to estimate ages in the events tab based on this, but seems to ignore it in diagrams.

I presume you are using the :AGE_AT extension to the death date event, this is based on an existing birth date.

You will probably need to nest a few functions, to get the answer you need.

To use estimated dates you will need to use the function =EstimatedDeathDate()or EstimatedBirthDate.

Thanks for your reply, Jane. It has made me 'bite the bullet' and have a proper look at functions. After much trial and error, and even resorting to the manual, I've finally got what I wanted!

If anybody else is interested, this is my code:

d. %INDI.DEAT.DATE:ABBREV3% =ExistsText(%INDI.DEAT.PLAC%,'in') %INDI.DEAT.PLAC:TIDY% (=ExistsText(%INDI.DEAT%,EstimatedAgeAt(%INDI%,EstimatedDeathDate(%INDI%,MID,2),AVG,2))y)
