Trying to calculate New Joiners and Leavers

Here's the data I'm working with:

I'm trying to calculate the joiner / leaver columns in r using by looking to see if start date is %within% month and headcount == 1 then +1 and similarly with Leavers as -1. For some reason r is not recognizing the %within% function of lubridate.
Anyone have any recommendations of a simpler way to do this?
Sorry this is my 2nd week of using r and am in no way a developer - just learning along the way...
Thanks

Have you loadedlubridatewithlibrary(lubridate)? And have you converted those strings toDateclass?

It's easier to help you if you include a simple reproducible example with sample input and desired output that can be used to test and verify possible solutions. (Pictures of data are not reproducible)

yeah I loaded the library, however did not convert to date class. Will try that!
