| Feb 1, 2023 at 14:46 | comment | added | NickD | I know all this (as my answer clearly indicated). What is not clear is what was wrong, but it seems you don't know either: you did something and it fixed it but what exactly you did, nobody knows. | |
| Feb 1, 2023 at 12:08 | comment | added | RenatoP | you can use: %%(org-anniversary 1948 02 01) Arthur's birthday (%d years old) or %%(diary-anniversary 02 01 1948) Arthur's birthday (%d years old con diary) the difference is on the date format. YYYY MM dd (for org-anniversary) MM dd YYY for diary-anniversary. I still can't understand why I didn't get any error messages abot the wrong format, but emacs has just ignored the text (or maybe MY emacs is setted to not display error messages) | |

I'm glad you solved it, but it is not clear how: the only difference between the form in your question and the one in your answer is that the day is 30, instead of 27. Although Arthur might object to having his birthday shifted like this, that makes no difference to Emacs. So what exactly was it that resolved the problem?
