Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
What does the "Include end date in count" checkbox do?
By default, calculating a timeline simply subtracts the days (e.g. Day 5 minus Day 1 equals 4 days of duration). If you are tracking hotel bookings or events where both the start and the end date count uniquely as full elapsed days, checking this box automatically adds one (+1) day to the final count.
Are leap years covered in the duration calculations?
Yes! The system seamlessly injects the extra February 29th days into any timeline span mathematically required. It's completely flawless and automated.
What if I put the dates backwards?
No worries. The script will dynamically swap them chronologically into order so you never receive an error!
