If the dates you've got are the start and end dates of the holiday, then
you'll need to add 1 day to what DATEDIF gives you, as DATEDIF gives the
number of days difference between the dates, which is of course 1 day in the
case of your example. (So if your first day and last day of the holiday are
the same, the DATEDIF function gives zero and you add 1). Instead of
DATEDIF you could merely have used =B1-A1 (and still added 1 to get your
desired result). Bear in mind, however, that (either with the simple
formula or with DATEDIF) you may struggle with half days of holiday, & (more
significantly) it won't deal with weekends. To cope with weekends (and bank
holidays if applicable) you may want to use the NETWORKDAYS function.
