    If you have today's year in C3 and today's month in D3 then with start year in C4 and start month in D4 use this formula for the number of months

    =(C3-C4)*12+D3-D4

    thank you so much for solving my problem, you are a life saver! I am really not good with excel formulas.

    Please look at the new picture, what about when I want to make the "WHOLE COLUMN" with same concept/function applied to a list of candidates automatically? I tried "drag down" to perform function, but it doesn't work that way.

    I saw daddy may off now. Maybe you can try one of these following;
    =($A$3-B9)*12+$B$3-C9
    or
    =DATEDIF(DATE(B9,C9,1),DATE($A$3,$B$3,1),"m")

    Offcourse, Daddy's is alway the shortest

    Hi Bebo,

    is there a way to put an "exception", like if there is no start dates for contract, then the answer equals to zero, however, the formula for the month calculation column will still be hidden there.

    Give 0 if B9 is blank.
    =IF(B9="",0,Formula)
