Hi @roninn75,

 

You can also use:

 

Calculates the fraction of the year represented by the number of whole days between two dates. Use the YEARFRAC worksheet function to identify the proportion of a whole year's benefits or obligations to assign to a specific term.

YEARFRAC(<start_date>, <end_date>, <basis>)

Hi @roninn75

 

Try the DATEDIFF formula

DATEDIFF(<start_date>, <end_date>, <interval>)
