Calculating dates

[WJ876400]

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 

Prog year check = DATEDIFF(Learners[Episode Start],TODAY(),DAY)/365

and then 

Programme Year= ROUNDUP(Learners[Prog year check],0)

However this is not taking into account our year starts on 01/08 so currently if someone started 01/01/2019 they are showing as being in their fist year rather than their second year.

Is there a way to calculate this?

thanks

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
