Date difference

The date difference shows how far apart two dates are. The same date is 0 days, and the next day is 1 day.

Inclusive days

Inclusive days count the start date as day 1. This style is sometimes used for application windows, stays, and work periods.

Use this when checking questions like 30 days from today, how many days a period covers, or what happens when the end date is before the start date. The calculation uses dates only and does not include times of day.
