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!

        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.
