Hi,
Start date and end date was an example.
Ok - i've done it wrong. What I'm tring to do is the following.
In the query builder.. This will get the month from both dates and subtract it
x: Month([FirstTreatment])
y: Month([AssesmentDate])
TimeOnWaitingList: ([x]-[y])
This works. But if I had the dates
05/01/2006 as x
27/04/2005 as y The difference should be 11 but I get -3
HELP Please

Try playing with this.
datediff(month, '04/27/2005', '01/05/2006')
I get 9 months and the dates are in US format but it should be a start

Ritesh,
You should have continued this in your original thread.

You should calcualte the month difference together with year. Use datediff()
Your statement,
month('05/01/2006') will return 1
month('27/04/2005') will return 4
so 1 - 4 = -3. Which is correct but not what you wanted !
use datediff(month, '2005-04-27', '2006-01-05') and it will return you 9

aslo the above should return differece of 9 not 11. How did you get 11 anyway ?
