How to Calculate DATEDIF formula in Excel?
I would like to get the CalculatedValue for the formula =DATEDIF("5/7/2018","6/6/2018","m").In Excel it returns zero.
I would like to know what process used while calculating the above formula.
Can anyone please let me know the actual process behind getting the month between two dates ?

Use:
=DATEDIF(DATEVALUE("5/7/2018"),DATEVALUE("6/6/2018"),"m")
will return 0
However:
=DATEDIF(DATEVALUE("5/7/2018"),DATEVALUE("6/7/2018"),"m")
will return 1

"5/7/2018" is May 7th, but there is not a full month until June 6th, hence the zero result.DATEDIF(start_date,end_date,"M") gives the number of complete months in the period.
Please also note that dates in Excel can be tricky, as it depends on your regional settings.
"5/7/2018" could be July 5th (in my region), hence after June 6th, which should give a #NUM error if you use the DATEDIF function.
