Default counting the number or months between two dates.

If you want months only,use "m" instead of "ym"
"ym" is used when you strip off the year

y = year
ym = months after year(s) is removed
m = months
md = days after months have been stripped off
d = days but you might was well use end-start on that one

Ok Maybe I did something wrong.

I used =DATEDIF(A1,A2,"ym")
with A1 as 4/30/2007
and A2 as 11/30/2008
result was 7

????????
