          year(now()) - year('the laying date')



          Check if the date format will work, but aside from that, it should be pretty easy. The laying date can be replaced by a field value.

            From the field calculator, this expression could do the trick:



            year(now()) - year('the laying date')



            Check if the date format will work, but aside from that, it should be pretty easy. The laying date can be replaced by a field value.
