months(startDate, endDate)

returns the Number of whole months that have elapsed between startDate and endDate. If endDate is earlier than startDate then the result is negative.

If $DateA is 3 January 2016 and $DateB is 9 April 2016, then:

$MyNumber = months($DateA,$DateB); 

sets $MyNumber to 4.

Also see days(date1,date2).
