    Birger, 

    Thanks for your prompt reply.

    In Belgium, for a lease contract, we have to end the contract the day before the year. For example, 1/1/2019 to 31/12/2019. Even though your code is correct on the logical point of view, on the juridical point of view is not correct. We need to change the "then 1 else 0" by " then 0 else -1".

    Thanks a lot for your help ! Have a nice day...

    Hi Raphael, 

    Please try it with this one: 

     

    (year('Date2') - year('Date1')) - if month('Date2') < month('Date1') or (month('Date2') = month('Date1') and day('Date2') < day('Date1') - 1) then 1 else 0 end

    Best, Jörg

    Hi Raphael, 

    No, the last part is different ;)

    There is a -1 in the brackets before the last then

    Best, Jörg
