I would like to change the following to statement to check for months rather than days:
datdif(index_date,treated_date,'act/act')
What would I need to change so that datdiff can back in months between the diagnosis and Index date rather than days.
Many thanks.

Not sure why "you would need to check if yearpart different from yearpart other date first". INTCK() handles full SAS dates.
INTCK('MONTH', index_date,treated_date, 'SAME')
The SAME alignment counts each month from the same day as the day of the start month

Hi,
Have a look at the INTCK function as this does all the different intervals - QTR, YEAR, MONTHS etc.
Just to note, you would need to check if yearpart different from yearpart other date first.
