If only year/month is relevant, then you can use the following code, in which <PreviousStep> is the name of the previous step in your query.
= Table.AddColumn(<PreviousStep>, "Months", each 12*(ValuationYear-Date.Year([StartDate]))+ValuationMonth-Date.Month([StartDate]))
It looks like you want to use #date, however, #date won't accept 31 for months with less than 31 days.
Also dividing by30 doesn't look like a good idea to me.
Can you specify exactly how you need the number of months to be calculated?
E.g:
April 30 to May 1 is 0 or 1 month?
April 15 to May 14 is 0 or 1 month?
April 1 to May 31 is 1 month (or 2)?
If only year/month is relevant, then you can use the following code, in which <PreviousStep> is the name of the previous step in your query.
= Table.AddColumn(<PreviousStep>, "Months", each 12*(ValuationYear-Date.Year([StartDate]))+ValuationMonth-Date.Month([StartDate]))
