Granted, I am still using version 5.13 and I don't have the latest
update. If the date calculator is the same, it is NOT a great Date
Calculator. It is of only marginal utility. To be really useful it would
have fields for "beginning date" "years,months,days (in that order, not
backwards like it is)" and "ending date". You could fill in any two
fields and generate the third. The calculator only does two of the three
possible variations. I do as many calculations to determine how old
someone was on such and such a date as I do to determine the possible
birth date based on "date of death" and "age at death".

The fact that the result can't be copied is another major frustration.
