That makes sense. Why couldn't I see that? Perhaps I need more coffee. Thanks.

Explanation:
apart from the up to and including suggestion made above, I would also suggest that many instances of where t/m or t.e.m. are used can be translated by simply following the numbers with the word inclusive or inc.
This works well with ranges expressed in numbers or days, but less well with dates.
