Would there be any way to do this?
Suppose A1 contains a date 11/14/2006 and A2, 12/13/2006. B1 now contains 11/20/2006 and B2, 12/23/2006.
I would like to get how many days the interval B1 to B2 were contained in interval A1 to A2, which is for this case, 23 days. Thanks.
Does this work for you?
=MIN(B1:B2)-MAX(A1:A2)
Where there is a will there are many ways.

yes thanks a lot!
By my reckoning you have a 24 day overlap if you count all days from 20 Nov to 13th December inclusive. Using your counting method, if one period ended on the same day as the other started then you'd get zero, is that the requirement?
If so, then to cater for the possibility that there is no overlap, or that one period is wholly contained within the other try
=MAX(0,MIN(A2,B2)-MAX(A1,B1))
or if you want to get a result of 24 as suggested
=MAX(0,MIN(A2+1,B2+1)-MAX(A1,B1))
