Calculating dates
Hi
We run programmes that fall in line with a different yearly cycle than the calendar months. Our calendar starts on 01/08 every year and ends 31/07 every year.
If someone starts their programme on 01/01/2019 they are in their second year of study as of todays date. If they start 01/09/2017 they are in their 3rd year of study as of todays date.
The calculations i am using are
One quick way I can think of is you use the start of year function
End of the year would be ideal, but will not work directly on today
DATEDIFF(STARTOFYEAR(Admission[Date],"7/31"),TODAY(),MONTH)Now you will get more than 12 month , develop login based on month or year
Appreciate your Kudos. In case, this is the solution you are looking for, mark it as the Solution. In case it does not help, please provide additional information and mark me with @
Thanks.
