New to JavaScript and trying to calculate the date of birth from an Excel date, provided as an integer value (1 Jan 1900 = 1).
Having trouble to get the right syntax for this block of code:

   If (today_month < M) {
       age--;
       }
    else  {
        F = parseInt(30.6001 * E);
        DOM = (B - (D + F)) + (Q - Z); //day of the month
        If (DOM > today_day) {
            age--;
      }
   }

Tried various constructions but no success sofar. Note that the 2 lines
F = ....  and DOM = ... only need to run if (today_month < M) is false.
I tried with those 2 lines outside the If Else block, but no success either.

Thanks for any advice.
