Month DateDiff round down to nearest month
Hi Everyone,
When I'm using the DateDiff Function to get the difference between two dates it works fine, however it rounds up my dates and I would like to round this down. E.g if the difference in months is 16 months and 16 days, it rounds it up to 17 months . However I would like to round down to 16. Similarly if the difference is 23 days, I would like it to round down to 0 month as opposed to 1 etc. I have tried using INT(DateDiff(XXX) however the issue is still the same.
Thank you in advance

Hi Datediff in always ROUNDUP, for Always rounddown you may use -1 like this:
diference = DATEDIFF(Table1[Column1];Table1[Column2];MONTH)-1
