I’ll show you how to create an attendance sheet in Excel that does the hard work for you. With just a few easy steps, you’ll be able to set up automated attendance tracking using Conditional Formatting to highlight "Present" and "Absent" cells in different colors. It’s the perfect solution for teachers, HR managers, or anyone needing a quick attendance record without the hassle. Be sure to watch my YouTube tutorial linked below for a full walkthrough!
Step-by-Step Guide:
1. Set Up Your Sheet - Begin by setting up your headers: “Name,” “ID Number,” and dates across the top. List attendee names down the side.
2. Marking Attendance - Record attendance by marking P for “Present” and A for “Absent” under each date.
3. Using Conditional Formatting - Here’s the trick to make it visually clear:
- Select your range (e.g., C2:G10).
- Go to Home > Conditional Formatting > New Rule.
- Select Use a formula to determine which cells to format and enter:
- For Present: `=C2="P"` with a green fill.
- For Absent: `=C2="A"` with a red fill.
4. Add Totals (Optional) - Add a column for Total Presents and Total Absents to quickly track each person’s attendance.
