Thanks sir for such early and helpfull reply. I know how this formula work but my concern is this formula is taking start date in its formula then why such things happen. Why we have to check inclusion exclusion because in big data we cannt check on eveeythingy

Rakesh891 If I simply deduct one date value from another, let's say 21-Dec minus 21-Dec, the answer is zero. Mathematically 100% correct, but if I want to express the number of days covering the time period I would want to see 1. So, it is the human being at the keyboard who needs to decide which function to use, understand it and add 1 or not depending on the circumstances. Similar in your case. Two different functions, two different interpretations. It's your call.
- Rakesh891Dec 22, 2021Copper ContributorYes true... But if i take holiday on 22nd then why answer change because total hoilday remain same

Rakesh891 Did you look at the picture I uploaded? With 21-Dec as a holiday, it coincides with the start date that is excluded anyway.
- Rakesh891Dec 22, 2021Copper ContributorYep. I got meaning that if u take start date and holiday date same then this formula gonnna ignore that date
