Trying to count holiday taken so far

Sorry, here's an example of the workbook.

Currently, nothing is calculated. The H in certain cells means that a holiday was booked for that day. All days before and including today's date with H in the cell are holidays already taken, all days after today's date with H in the cell are holidays planned for the future.

My manager wants a count of all holidays up to and including today's date, which is why I thought the =TODAY() might help along with a =COUNTIF.

Unfortunately my manager does not want the layout to change at all. Please let me know if you need more information!

a more upbeat version...
