Just a simple example how easy APEX can handle this kind of problem.
Example:
We have today the 06.11.2015 (11-06-2015) and we have two date values 01.11.2015 and 30.11.2015.
Now I want to know how much time has past in percent since the beginning (01.11.2015):
Result: 17 %
SQL Source:
Now just a little column optimization
and the result looks like this "Time past between two date values in percent":
