Hello-
I have a calculation for obtaining hours from the past 12 months based on the effective date of an action. I am running into an issue when there are multiple actions that have occurred in the dataset where the first value calculates the correct sum of hours; however, the second value is the sum of all hours regardless of date. What am I missing in my calculation to account for these multiple records to calculate appropriately for each instance?
| EE ID | Effective Date | Hours |
| 1234 | 1/7/2024 | 570.50 |
| 1234 | 10/26/2025 | 3,524.61 |
The hours for 1/7/2024 is correct. The hours for 10/26/2025 is incorrect and should be 1,431.54, but instead it's totalling all hours the employee has in the hours table.
Thanks in advance for any assistance!!

@TCatron18 You are using DATEDIFF incorrectly here. DATEDIFF calculates the difference between two dates, it does not return an actual date value. But, because a date is technically a number, you aren't getting an error. Try using EOMONTH instead of DATEDIFF to return an actual date.
