Need help with color flag.

I have a field that gets current date =Globals!ExecutionTime and another 2 fields that have the month and year. =Fields!BudgetPrd.Value and =Fields!BudgetYear.Value.

What I am trying to accomplish is current month and year minus budget prd and year must be greater than 2 months apart for me to flag the field yellow. For the life of me I can't figure anyway to write this. example would be 1/14/2014 - 10/2013 is more than 2 months so flag that record. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

set below expression for background color
=IIF(DateDiff(DateInterval.Month,DateSerial(Cint(Fields!BudgetYear.Value),Cint(Fields!BudgetPrd.Value),Cint(1)),Globals!ExecutionTime)> 2 ,"yellow","None")

here is the message I get.

The BackgroundColor expression for the text box ‘BudgetPrd’ contains an error: Input string was not in a correct format.
=IIF(DateDiff(DateInterval.Month,DateSerial(Cint(Fields!BudgetYear.Value),Cint(Fields!BudgetPrd.Value),Cint(1)),Globals!ExecutionTime)> 1 ,"yellow","White")

I changed the 2 to a 1 just to see if it was working correctly but still didn't show anything.

ok so actually to get it to show correct answer it would need to be take they year x 12 then add the month. Then take current year x12 +current month. if difference is >2 then yellow.

=IIF((Year(Today)*12+Month(Today))-((Fields!BudgetYear.Value)*12+(Fields!BudgetPrd.Value))>2,"yellow","White") This is the answer to my question Thank you Visakh16
