Calculating What Months a Date Range Covers

Good evening. I am developing a trend analysis of data that has a start and end date. I need to count the number of rotations that were active every month that falls within the start and end date range.

A rotation starts 1 Oct 16 and ends 4 Apr 17. When I go to count how many active rotations that I had in October, November, December, January March, and April, I need the dates of this record to tally across the months so I can add them up for a total count. I hope this makes sense. I've added a bit of the data that I am working with. I've been after this for some time now.

Thanks in advance!

Excel Facts

Why are there 1,048,576 rows in Excel?
The Excel team increased the size of the grid in 2007. There are 2^20 rows and 2^14 columns for a total of 17 billion cells.
I'm in UK so need to change the date s
BUT
the first row has
start 12/11/16 - which is the 11th Dec 2016 to 7th April 2017
so why do you have a 1 Nov and a 0 in Apr
is this just the formatting here
or ????

you can change the format of the header so it just shows the month

you also have a column showing active / inactive - is that also used at all ?

if the date completion is not filled in - do you just want to populate upto today() or for the entire sheet

The current formula that I have in the cell trying to figure this out is incorrect. The data is just there to illustrate my problem.

The active/inactive is a field used to filter the records. If the completion date is empty, that means that the current rotation is still active and should continue to count under the months that its activity covers. This data a part of a database that I built in Access that allows me to query based on the program coordinators requested requirements that vary. The latest request is to show a trend of the number of rotations monthly.

ignore the active with a blank end date
does the solution work for you
if so then i can work on fixing the blank end date - but dont want to waste time if the inactive is incorrect
