Hi @caneeraj,

  1. You need to create a constraint
    in xls-form it is created by adding a column in survey sheet. Like this screenshot:

in KoBo Form Builder it is under the settings of the question,

  1. You need to change the date format of your holidays to YYYY-MM-DD this is how KoBo stores its dates. Today (16 March 2022) is 2022-03-16.

  2. Then you need to write the dates in the KoBo’s date format in the constraint section with or syntax.

This is the help article for you:
