Welcome. Please always provide sample data when asking questions.

if OBJECT_ID('tempdb..#cate') IS NOT NULL
	drop table #cate;

create table #cate(name varchar(50), date_of_birth date)

insert into #cate
select 'Darth Vader', '1968-01-23' union
select 'Cathy', '1980-01-01'


select *, DATEDIFF(yyyy,date_of_birth, getdate())
  from #cate

Yosiasz, You have to be careful using year. Today is 3/16. If my birthday isn't til 3/17, your calc shows me as already having my birthyday.

if OBJECT_ID('tempdb..#cate') IS NOT NULL
	drop table #cate;

create table #cate(name varchar(50), date_of_birth date)

insert into #cate
select 'Darth Vader', '1968-01-23' union all
select 'Cathy', '1980-01-01' union all
select 'Before', '1980-03-15' union all
select 'Today', '1980-03-16' union all
select 'Tomorrow', '1980-03-17'

select *, 
		DATEDIFF(yyyy,date_of_birth, getdate()) - 
 			Case when DatePart(DY, date_of_birth) > DatePart(DY, getdate()) then 1 else 0 end

  from #cate

thanks Mike, maybe you have a twin in the other universe who already had his birthday. :laughing:
