Getting an Age from Dataset

I'm trying to get an age from the following data in a matrix array/table, just unsure how to apply the code to my work. If anyone could help it would be amazing!

Depends which age you want.

allSamples{ 1, 2:3 }

would give you the first DOB and collection date. Or

[ allSamples.DOB, allSamples.CollectionDate ]

will give you the full column of dates of birth and collection date.

Then it is easy to calculate age from these.

How do i calculate the age?

One possibility —

DOB = datetime(['06 Jul 1951'; '15 Aug 1943'], 'InputFormat','dd MMM yyyy')

DOB = 2×1 datetime array
   06-Jul-1951
   15-Aug-1943

CollectionDate = datetime(['01 Mar 2006'; '02 Mar 2006'], 'InputFormat','dd MMM yyyy')

CollectionDate = 2×1 datetime array
   01-Mar-2006
   02-Mar-2006

Age = caldiff([DOB CollectionDate], {'years' 'months' 'days'}, 2)

Age = 2×1 calendarDuration array
   54y 7mo 23d
   62y 6mo 15d

.
