Answer: convert number of days into years/months
 

Sure, I can help you with that!

To convert a number of days into years and months, you can use the following steps:

1. Divide the total number of days by 365 to get the number of years. In this case, 395 divided by 365 equals
   Formula:

   ---

   round(395/365, 2) 


   ---

   years.
2. Take the decimal part of the result from step 1 (0.08) and multiply it by 12 to get the number of months. In this case, 0.08 multiplied by 12 equals
   Formula:

   ---

   round(0.08*12, 2) 


   ---

   months.
3. Round the number of months to the nearest whole number. In this case, 0.96 rounds up to 1 month.
4. Combine the number of years and months into a single expression. In this case, the result is 1 year and 1 month.

So, 395 days is equivalent to 1 year and 1 month. I hope that helps!

That depends on your starting date (for the months anyway). Some months have
31 days, some 30... Did you want to assume a 30 day month or did you want to
supply a starting date.

If you are supplying a starting date then you could sue DateDif. Check out
