Libra Office has take 12/31/1899 as 1 and not 1900 as base for caluclation if we will format 01/01/1900 as number it will give you 2. There is no 0 base value. which is actully problem for all date based calculations. a base date is required for calulation. 12/30/1899 is used as 0. So first resolve the base vlaue proble then only date based calculation can be resolved

For example, "Start dates" between "1.1.1958" and "2.28.1958" in the above examples work correctly.
