Duration.days returning false values (Power Query)

Hello Everyone, 

 

I am using duration.days to calculate the duration between two dates. But the result is sometimes right and sometimes wrong. 

For example between 28/04/2020 and 04/05/2020 it should returns 7, it returns 6

And between 05/05/2020 and 06/05/2020 it returns the correct result which is 1.

Still showing 6 instead of 7

because of 28/04/2020 is excluding it is not including.

I don't think so, because it gives correct results for other dates, like 04/05/2020 and 07/05/2020. it returns 3

it gives correct results for other dates, like 04/05/2020 and 07/05/2020. it returns 3 , YES because 04/05/2020 is excluding and 07/05/2020 is including i.e (05/05/2020,06/05/2020,07/05/2020) , you should count other dates day.

Should i add 1 to the result?

No @Anonymous  ,because if you add 1 so  in this scenario05/05/2020 and 06/05/2020 it returns the correct result which is 1 answer will be wrong.
