Excel Formula

The problem I am trying to solve is... Over a single day i have two data columns, one is a staff start time and the other is staff end time. 

What I want to do is ascertain how many staff are present at a specific 15 minute time segment of the day, starting at 7:00:00 up to 22:00:00. 

So looking at the times an individual was present, were they there at 7.15, 7.30, 7.45 etc. I am looking to use this for trended attendance stats

I was trying the COUNTIF function, but i'm failing to get the right formula, any advice anyone

Thank you

      Hi Sergei
      Thanks for your reply, I tried your formula but It seems like the people leaving are not being deducted off the count.

        Apologies I copied and pasted from Excel, the final figure is what the number should be, the one before it is what the formula is giving
