I am trying to calculate how many total numbers appear in a range of
numbers.
The first 2 columns would have the beginning and end numbers for the
range.
If there is only 1 number for the range it would appear in the first
column
and the second column would be blank. (When I use the formula B1-A1+1 I
get
a negative number in third column instead of a 1.)

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

1500 1504 5
1505 1
1506 1508 3
1509 1
1512 1515 4
1516 1
