It's nice - had to translate page to English - so what's the goal here? Are you batch processing them? Surely for an InDesign project an Excel sheet with calculation would be better - and then you could data merge all the text (possibly)
I didn't look at difference in age between two people or how long to next birthday.
For age of a person it can definitely be scripted in InDesign (even I can do it)
