Dynamically calculate the difference between two dates with a DATEDIF function in Zoho Office Integrator

Dynamically calculate the difference between two dates with a DATEDIF function in Zoho Office Integrator

Hi users,
 
We're pleased to introduce a new formula in Zoho Office Integrator's document editor: DATEDIF. This formula allows you to calculate the difference between two dates in days, months, and years—and eliminate errors due to manual calculations.

DATEDIF function syntax: 

=DATEDIF(start_date, end_date, unit)
 
Inputs:

start_date
The date from which the calculation begins
end_date
The date at which the calculation ends
unit
The format (day, month, year) in which the difference should be calculated.
 
List of supported units:
 
Unit
Description
Y
Calculates the difference in years
M
Calculates the difference in months
D
Calculates the difference in days
MD
Calculates the difference in days, excluding months and years
YM
Calculates the difference in months, excluding years
YD
Calculates the difference in days excluding years
 

Some examples of DATEDIF functions:

Example
Syntax
Output
Calculate the difference between June 12, 2024 and August 28, 2024 in days
=DATEDIF([12/06/2024], [28/08/2024],"D")
77
Calculate the difference between Aug. 28, 2024 and Oct. 30, 2024 in days, excluding months and years
=DATEDIF([28/08/2024], [30/10/2024],"MD")
2 (Because the difference is 2 days and 2 months, this formula returns 1 day)
Calculate the difference between Feb. 20, 2024 and April 20, 2025 in months excluding years
=DATEDIF([20/02/2024], [20/04/2025],"YM")
2 (Because the difference is 1 year and 2 months, this formula returns 2 months)
 
Note: You can use DATEDIF functions in both documents and merge templates. Learn more about Zoho Office Integrator's Merge APIs. 

Real world examples of using DATEDIF functions: 

  • Calculate the difference between a project's start and end date with a DATEDIF function to generate project specific reports.
  • Calculate how long a client has used your outdoor billboards based on the start and end dates, and generate personalized usage-based invoices.
