Hi @emmanuelkatto24!

Welcome to the Knack community! We’re happy to have you here :slight_smile:

Hi Emmanuel,

If your startup year is stored as a number field, I would use a Numeric Equation field for this.

A simple equation would be:

getDateYear(currentDate()) - {Startup Year}

So if the Startup Year is 2018 and the current year is 2026, the result will be 8.

If you want to avoid blank or invalid values, you can use a conditional version like:

{Startup Year} > 0 ? getDateYear(currentDate()) - {Startup Year} : 0

Since you are subtracting one whole year number from another, the result should already be a whole number. You can also set the field display to 0 decimal places if needed.

Hi everyone,

I’m Emmanuel Katto, based in Dubai, UAE. I’m new to the Knack community and currently exploring no-code database tools for building practical business workflows, dashboards, forms, and connected data structures.

I’m especially interested in learning more about formulas, filtered dropdowns, record rules, and how to structure tables properly for scalable apps. Looking forward to learning from the community and contributing where I can.

Regards,
Emmanuel Katto
