Duration formula in months

Hello.  I am trying to display a duration formula in months.  
[Revised End Date]-[Original Start Date]
We want to see any of records that are greater than 18 months.  I see that I can choose Days or Weeks, but I don't see how to display the number of months.  
Is there an easy way to do this?  
Thanks!
  • Well, not all months are the same length, so it�s hard to say how long a month is.

    However,

    You can make a formula date field called

    Original Start Date Plus 18 Months

    with a formula of

    AdjustMonth([Original Start Date], 18) will be 18 months after that start date.

    So you could use that in a report filter.

    If you really want a formula to calculate the difference in months, that is a more difficult formula.
  • How do I create this same formula but showing the last date of the resulting month, instead of first day of month?
  • I think you should post a new complete question with an example. I�m not understanding your question.
