2. If the end date is 31st, set the end date to the 30th

The year fraction is then calculated as: $$\frac{(d_2-d_1) + (m_2-m_1)\times 30 + (y_2-y_1)\times 360}{360}$$

The order of date1 and date2 is not important. If date1 is less than date2 then the result will be non-negative. Otherwise, the result will be negative.
