Hey,

Can anyone help me convert Age to Days? Have trouble parsing and calculating.

 

Sample Data

Age

2 years 3 months 2 days

3 months 4 days

2 days

 

I want to have a column with converted values to just days. Dont want exact days. Year could be 365 and month could be 30.

Age, d_age

2 years 3 months 2 days, 457

3 months 4 days, 94

2 days, 2

Here is how

| makeresults
| eval Age=split("2 years 3 months 2 days,3 months 4 days,2 days", ",")
| mvexpand Age
| rex field=Age "((?<years>\d+)\s+years[^\d]*)?((?<months>\d+)\s+months[^\d]*)?((?<days>\d+)\s+days)?"
| fillnull years months days
| eval d_age=(years*365)+(months*30)+days
| table Age d_age years months days

I assume your 457 for the first was assuming 1 year...
