in the Version I am using there is no function of months_between and i do not know if it even exist as there is no information regarding this function.
Try this:
(Year(Today())-year(reporting_date))*12 + (Num(Month(Today()))-Num(Month(reporting_date))) as MonthsBucket

Hi @Oero 

It seems months_between is an Oracle function 

https://docs.oracle.com/cd/B12037_01/server.101/b10759/functions079.htm

The functions available in Qlik are listed here:

There are some samples in community in how to achieve something similar:

Hope it helps.
