Explanation

Define Input Dates: VAR StartDate = DATE(2024, 9, 17) sets the start date to September 17, 2024. VAR EndDate = DATE(2024, 10, 5) sets the end date to October 5, 2024. Find the Last Day of the Start Month: VAR EndOfStartMonth = EOMONTH(StartDate, 0) calculates the end of the month for the StartDate. The EOMONTH function returns the last day of the month that contains the specified date. Here, it finds the last day of September 2024. Calculate Number of Days in the Start Month: VAR DaysInStartMonth = DATEDIFF(StartDate, EndOfStartMonth, DAY) + 1 computes the number of days from the StartDate to the EndOfStartMonth. DATEDIFF counts the number of days between two dates. Adding 1 includes the start date in the count. Calculate Number of Days in the End Month: VAR StartOfEndMonth = DATE(YEAR(EndDate), MONTH(EndDate), 1) determines the first day of the end month (October 1, 2024). VAR DaysInEndMonth = DATEDIFF(StartOfEndMonth, EndDate, DAY) + 1 calculates the number of days from the StartOfEndMonth to the EndDate. Adding 1 includes the end date in the count. Return the Result: RETURN UNION (ROW ( "Month", "September", "Days", DaysInStartMonth ), ROW ( "Month", "October", "Days", DaysInEndMonth )) combines the results into a table. It returns two rows: one for September with the number of days in September and one for October with the number of days in October.
