How do I store age based on a Date question? (Power Surveys)

This script will enable the storing of age in a hidden numeric question based on a date input into the Date question. Please note if you need this to be dynamic and update with time you should use recode questions.
 

Detailed Steps

1. Create a Date question.
2. Create a Numeric question and check the hidden property checkbox. You may want to temporarily leave this unhidden for testing or create a test instruction screen to pipe in the data (see "How Do I Set Up a Test Screen to Pipe Information from Hidden Questions").
3. Copy the script below into Notepad.
4. Edit AGE_QUESTION to be the name of your hidden Numeric question holding the age information.
5. Edit DOB_QUESTION to be the name of your Date question.
6. Insert the completed script into the Script section of the date question by doing the following:
   • Select the Date question in the Questionnaire Tree.
   • In the Scripting section of the page, click Edit Scripts.
   • Paste the script into the On Exit tab.
   • Click Save.
7. Click Validate and test your survey.
