Default Count no of nights between dates

If you need to reduce a number by 1, the function to use is subtraction.
Excel uses a minus sign for subtraction.
If you want an answer of COUNTIF(B2:K2,"x")-1, the formula to use is
=COUNTIF(B2:K2,"x")-1

Thanks for the quick response.

I am afraid it does not give me the correct answer. I need the number of
nights between the dates, eg 3 days = 2 nights between 11th March - 13th
March.

Use Countif which takes a range and criteria

=COUNTF(B2:K2,"x")

I am trying to count no of nights for example stayed in a hotel,

For example
You put in the dates in row 1
Fill then row 2 with "x" if stayed at hotel

Need then another cell to calculate the number of nights that has been
stayed at the hotel (the cells filled with "x").

Can anyone help?

In advance thanks for your help
