Formula Used

The interval between two dates is calculated by finding the difference between the two dates and then converting that difference into the selected unit of measurement.

Formula for Days

Days = (End Date - Start Date) / (1000 * 60 * 60 * 24)

Formula for Weeks

Weeks = Days / 7

Formula for Months

Months = (End Year - Start Year) * 12 + (End Month - Start Month)

Formula for Years

Years = End Year - Start Year

These formulas ensure that the interval is calculated accurately, taking into account the varying lengths of months and leap years.
