How do I calculate # of months between 2 dates in Acrobat DC form?

[scotts74312160]

Hi there,

Admitted JavaScript idiot here.  Need to calculate number of months to 2 decimals between a move in and move out date.

I got it down to the number of days using what's below.

To make it easy, I only need to take the result from this script and divide by 30.

I do not need years.  So a calculation of more than 12 months is fine.

Could someone help??

Thank you!!

// Custom calculate script

(function () {

var sStart = getField("MOVE_IN_DATE_CLIENT").valueAsString;

var sEnd = getField("MOVE_OUT_DATE_CLIENT").valueAsString;

var dStart, dEnd, diff;

if(sStart && sEnd) {

dStart = util.scand("mm/dd/yy", sStart);

dEnd = util.scand("mm/dd/yy", sEnd);

diff = dEnd.getTime() - dStart.getTime();

event.value = Math.floor(diff / 864e5);

} else {

event.value = "";

}

})();

Just divide the result by 12...

Sorry, I meant by 30...

One can use the getFullYear(), getMoth() and getDate() methods to get the number of years,  months and the date within the month respectively. With these values one can easily calculate the number or fractional months to use in the unused term calculation even when the dates cross a year boundary and the all months are assumed to have 30 days.

I'm ok with assuming a 30 day month for my purposes.  The calculation is general for what we need it for.  How would I divide this result by 30 using my existing script?

Change:

event.value = Math.floor(diff / 864e5);

To:

event.value = Math.floor(diff / 864e5) / 30;
