     Posted: 28 Oct 2010 at 12:45am
HI,
 
Could anybody suggest how to calculate months between two dates. I have requirement to calculate months between currentdate to the other date.
 
I am using datediff function :
 
Suppose my databse column has date value 1-Jan-10 then I need the months between current date to the 1-Jan-10 .
 
When I use datediff it is giving value as 9.But the actuals  9+ So i need to display 10.
 
I am new to crystal reports. Could anybody suggest how to progress on this?

I am guessing that you are using the month function of DATEDIFF.  It will calculate by just looking at the date, 10/24/10 - 1/1/10...10-1=9. 
 
The solution is use the day function, and then divide by some value (average days in a month) to get the months (approximate) or use DAY() to the the day values and subtract them and then use some cutoff value to determine if you need to 'round up' to the next month (also approximate, but probably closer to what you are looking for)
