Here is how I do it. I use Column A for the beginning date,Column B for the ending date, and Row 1 for the column headings. I enter the first beginning date in cell A2 and first ending date in cell B2. I continue adding the beginning and ending dates down these two columns. In cell C2, I enter this formula: =B2-A2. That is I enter the equal sign followed by B2 followed by a minus sign followed by A2. Use the Enter key to enter this formula into cell C2. Click cell C2, and you should see a little box at the bottom right of the outline of this cell. Use the mouse cursor to drag it down column C until you come to the last pair of beginning and ending dates. This will give you the number of days that exist between each pair of dates.
