Description
The datediff function is used to determine the number of specified time intervals between two dates. For example, you can use datediff to calculate the number of days with different dates, or the number of weeks between the day and the last day of the current year.
To calculate the number of days for date1 and date2, you can use "number of days in a year" ("Y") or "day" ("D "). When interval is "the number of days of a week" ("W"), datediff returns the number of weeks between two dates. If date1 is Monday, datediff calculates the number of Monday before date2. This result contains date2, not date1. If interval is "Week" ("ww"), the datediff function returns the number of weeks between two dates in the calendar table. Function compute the number of Sundays between date1 and date2. If date2 is Sunday, datediff calculates date2, but date1 is not calculated even if date1 is Sunday.

If date1 is later than date2, The datediff function returns a negative number.
The firstdayofweek parameter affects the calculation of the "W" and "ww" separators.

If date1 or date2 is a date text, the specified year will become a fixed part of the date. However, if date1 or date2 is included in quotation marks ("") and the year is omitted, in Code , the current year is inserted every time date1 or date2 expressions are calculated. In this way, you can write the Program code for different years. When interval is "year" ("YYYY"), although only one day is actually different from January 1, datediff returns 1, indicating that the year is different.
