Calculate months and years between 2 dates on subform

Calculate months and years between 2 dates on subform

I am looking for a function syntax for an employment candidate to calculate the number of years and months (decimal format. eg 1.2 years) they are employed. I have their start date entered, but if the end date is blank, that tells me they are still employed until I enter an employment end date, then it stops calculating it. 


${Employment.Start Date}
${Employment.End Date}

Thank you!

      • Function #50: Schedule Calls to records

        Welcome back everyone! Last week's function was about changing ownership of multiple records concurrently. This week, it's going to be about scheduling calls for records in various modules.
