  • Start_Date, End_Date: The two dates to calculate the number of days between.
  • Method: Optional. A Boolean value specifies whether to use the U.S. or European method in the calculation.
Method Defined

If the end date is the last day of the month, and the start date is earlier than the 30th day of a month, the end date becomes equal to the 1st day of the next month; Otherwise, the end date is set to the 30th of the same month.
