How to count number of employees days on work between 2 dates (countif etc)

Hi, I'm trying to figure out how to make excel check 2 dates on each row and see if if that person is active on work. 

 

For example.

Employee 1 works 16 feb to 3 march

Employee 2 works on 17 feb to 4 march

 

I wanna count each day and show how many work on each day on shift.

In this simple example on 16th I have 1 employee working, and on 17th I have 2 etc. 

 

Any tips on moving on? I have been playing around with countif but no success yet 🙂

I basically wanna fil out the Persons on shift for each day from the "calendar" above that's 2 dates in each column.

    Let's say the start dates are in B3:B10 and the finish dates in C3:C10.

     

    The lit of dates below starts in A15.

    In B15:

    =COUNTIFS($B$3:$B$10, "<="&A15, $C$3:$C$10, ">=&A15)

    Fill down.

        I forgot one quote, but the formula has to be different since the start and finish values have a time component.

        I have updated your workbook.
