Default How to determine the number of month between 2 periods?

One place to start is

A1: 23 Feb 2006
B1: 1 Apr 2006
C1: =DATEDIF(A1,B1,"m")

However, you need to be careful when it comes to how "month" is defined.
Is 31 January 2007 to 28 February 2007 one month? or zero? (Datedif
returns 0)

as
23 Feb, 2006 and 1 Apr, 2006, it returns 2 months difference and not
counting the starting day. And always start to count Feb, 2006 and Apr, 2006.
Does anyone have any suggestion?
Thank you in advance
