That's interesting
But how can you use a decimal portion of a month
Is .6 of February (16.8 days) the same as .6 of December (18.6 days)

Is there a way to get the number of months in a numeric value with decimal
values? So if it 1.6 months between two dates. I'm trying to mimic
something someone is doing in Crystal Reports and it returns a partial
month. This is what I'm currently using.

DateDiff = %diff(Date1 : Date2 : *Months);
