datediff months returning incorrect values
- Anonymous2 years ago
Hi akhaliq7 ,
Regarding your question, 'DATEDIFF' calculates the difference between two date months. Even if 'EndDate' is the first day of the new month, it counts as an additional month. You can modify your expression.
Column = VAR _a = DATEDIFF([start date],[end date],MONTH) VAR _b = IF(DAY([end date]) >= DAY([start date]) , _a ,_a - 1) RETURN _bIf my understanding is wrong, please state your expected outcome.
