I am working for a company in Africa that employees many
nationalities, unfortunately for me each nationality has a differing
leave pattern, and I have to keep track of days worked and days leave,
I am having a problem finding a suitable function to calculate leave
and work days, bearing in mind we work 365 days per year.

Nationality 1 works 6 weeks on and 2 off
Nationality 2 works 12 months then 45 days off
Nationality 3 has every Friday off and also gets 45 days leave per
year

I really need to keep track of date start work, date start leave, days
worked, leave taken, and balance, I am having trouble getting the
calculation to work, any help would be very much appreciated.

That sounds like a nightmare to manage. Why don't you break it down into
small pieces. Work with Nationality 1 first. I assume you have a column
in your data set for Nationality. I'd probably do a calculation to
determine what they are eligible for. The challenge is including where they
are to date.
