@Anonymous , Half DAX half power query

In power query

 

if [Reference Date]>= [Last Date]
then
Number.RoundDown(((Date.Year([Reference Date])*12)+Date.Month([Reference Date]))/3-((Date.Year([Last Date])*12)+Date.Year([Last Date]))/3)
else null

 

DAX like

 

if( [Reference Date]>= [Last Date]

Floor(((year([Reference Date])*12)+Month([Reference Date]))/3-((year([Last Date])*12)+Month([Last Date])/3)))
