Get Date Value from Parameters

[ngadiez]

I have 2 parameters where I get the 'Valuation Year' and 'Valuation Month'

I want to use these 2 parameters to add custom Column:

This is my code: I want to get the difference in month:

Number.RoundUp(Duration.Days(Date(ValuationYear,ValuationMonth,31)-[StartDate])/30)

However Date wasn't recognized. 

Is there any other way to get it?

StartDate is in Date format.

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)?

[MarcelBeug · Accepted solution]

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]))

Thank you @MarcelBeug

The day is irrelevant here.

Yes your solution is correct.

Thanks a lot.
