HI Guys

I am trying to work out , the difference in months between two dates

however i am keep getting the following error message
"Msg 156, Level 15, State 1, Line 5
Incorrect syntax near the keyword 'AS'."

Any help would be much appreciated

Data type
Dim_Outlet.Open_Date = Varchar(8)
Audit_FDMS_Billing_Fees_Hist.fee_wholesale_date = Date

My query is

SELECT
Audit_FDMS_Billing_Fees_Hist.FDMSAccountNo,
Dim_Outlet.Open_Date,
Audit_FDMS_Billing_Fees_Hist.fee_wholesale_date,
case when DATEDIFF(month,'dim_Outlet.Open_Date','Audit_FDMS_Billing_Fees_Hist.fee_wholesale_date') AS DiffDate
FROM Audit_FDMS_Billing_Fees_Hist
INNER JOIN Dim_Outlet
ON Audit_FDMS_Billing_Fees_Hist.FDMSAccountNo = Dim_Outlet.FDMSAccountNo
where fee_sequence = '32r'
order by FDMSAccountNo

why do you need case when here? i think this is enough


SELECT 
Audit_FDMS_Billing_Fees_Hist.FDMSAccountNo,
Dim_Outlet.Open_Date,
Audit_FDMS_Billing_Fees_Hist.fee_wholesale_date,
case when DATEDIFF(month,dim_Outlet.Open_Date,Audit_FDMS_Billing_Fees_Hist.fee_wholesale_date) AS DiffDate 
FROM Audit_FDMS_Billing_Fees_Hist 
INNER JOIN Dim_Outlet 
ON Audit_FDMS_Billing_Fees_Hist.FDMSAccountNo = Dim_Outlet.FDMSAccountNo
where fee_sequence = '32r'
order by FDMSAccountNo
