Number of missing months between two anniversary dates

[tiger3p]

Hello,

Used the following formula but the results I'm getting is not what I'm expecting.

=DATEDIF(A1,B1,"m")+DAY(B1)/(32-DAY(B1-DAY(B1)+32))-DAY(A1)/(32-DAY(A1-DAY(A1)+32))

For example:

Cell A1: 3/30/2018
Cell B1: 3/1/2019

The number of months missing should be 12, but I'm getting 10.06.

Cell A2: 12/10/2018
Cell B2: 3/1/2019

The number of months missing should be 2 months but the formula is giving me 1. Anyway to get around this?

Thanks in advance!

Why are you adding this to the formula ??
DAY(B1)/(32-DAY(B1-DAY(B1)+32))-DAY(A1)/(32-DAY(A1-DAY(A1)+32))
Where did you get it from?
What's it supposed to achieve?

The number of complete months is simply
DATEDIF(A1,B1,"m")

3/20/2018 to 3/1/2019 - DATEDIF(A1,B1,"m") produces 11months on my Excel, 12 months has not occurred until 3/20/2019.
Babies born on 3/20/2018 don't have a birthday until 3/20/2019 therefore they are not yet 1 year old on 3/1/2019 so only 11 months have passed. The answer's 11.

12/10/2018 to 3/1/2019 - DATEDIF(A1,B1,"m") produces 2 months on my Excel

DAY(B1)/(32-DAY(B1-DAY(B1)+32))-DAY(A1)/(32-DAY(A1-DAY(A1)+32))
is producing a negative number which is reducing your DATEDIF() calculation

1/30 - 30/31 =

-0.935483871

Thanks for the reply! What if I just want the the difference in months absence of the day?
