Hi

may someone please urgently assist.

i'm trying to subtract 2 date fields and my intention is to get number of months as the returned field.

This is what i have done so far and i'm not convinced it's correct:

select ([CREATE DATE] - getdate()) as 'MonthDiff'
into #z_temp1
from Z_TEMP_CREATEDATE_LAPTOP

select (datediff(month,[MonthDiff],getdate())) as 'Month'
into z_temp2
from #z_temp1
