    Dear friends,

    I needed a urgent help on a critical task, for a field named "[ORC Position Duration (months)]"- I need to Calculate number of days from the "Target Start Date" through the "Temporary Assignment End Date" (including both the start date and end date) , -- Note I need to make sure that I include BOTH the Start Date and End Date in calculating the number of days between these two dates hence I wrote a code as below but I'm not sure will it work or not , if not please advice me the right code to accomplish this.

    ------ My code is as below---------------

    Select

    CONVERT(FLOAT,DATEDIFF ( DAY, [Pending].[Req# Target Start Date] ,[Pending].[Temporary Assignment End Date] ) + 1) AS [ORC Position Duration (months)]

    From dbo.pending

    --------------------------

    Thanks

    DJ

    Can you post the ddl and a few rows of sample data including the expected output? It is difficult to determine what you are trying to do here.
