We need to calculate Date Difference in Months, and are using "DateDiff".
Between March 1st 2005 to March 1st 2015 there are 10 years = 120 months. However ETL is returning 119 months, please suggest how to get the correct value.

At the moment it returns the approximate number of months between two specified Dates
The approximation based on an assumption of 30.4375 days per month. Fractional months are not counted. Thus, for example it reports the difference between February 1 and March 1 as 0.

To make it work the way you want we would meed to modify our software.

This will no take a lot of time
