Free Excel Leave Tracker Template

One of my teammates has the responsibility of creating a leave tracker template in Excel for the entire team. This tracker template is then used to track vacations/holidays and planned leaves of the team members.

Till now, she used a simple Gantt chart in Excel but wanted something better with more functionalities.

So, I created this Excel Leave Tracker Template to make leaves management easy and track monthly and annual leaves by her team members.

You can also use this as a vacation tracker template or student attendance tracker if you want.

Excel Leave Tracker Template

This Excel Leave Tracker template can be used to record and monitor employee leaves for a year (of a financial year where you can choose the starting month of the year).

You can track 10 different leave codes for an employee  – vacation leaves, sick leaves, maternity/paternity leaves, casual leave tracking, leave in lieu of overtime, and half days, etc.

It also provides a monthly and yearly total of different types of leaves that can be helpful in project planning and leave management.

It uses a bit of conditional formatting, a few DATE functions, array formulas, and a simple VBA code.

How this Excel Leave Tracker Template Works?

  • Use the triangle icons next to the month name to move to the next/previous month (the template updates itself to show the dates for the selected month). There is a short VBA code that runs in the background whenever you change the month. It shows you the selected month only and hides all the other months.Excel Leave Tracker Template 2020 - select first month of the financial year
  • This Excel template can be used to track leaves for over a year. You can select a start month and can track leaves for a year. For example, if you follow the April-March cycle, select April 2023 as the starting month.
    • Note: The value in cell A1 is to change the time period of the leave tracker ONLY. DO NOT use Cell A1 to move to the next month while recording leaves. Use the triangle icons next to the month names to go to the next/previous month and mark leaves.Excel Leave Tracker 2020 - Change the months using the arrows
  • You can specify the working days and non-working days (Weekends). At the right of the leave tracker, there is functionality to specify the working days by selecting Yes from the drop-down. If you select No, that day is marked as a non-working day in the leave tracker.
    • As soon as you specify the non-working days, those weekdays get highlighted in gray color in the leave tracker.

Excel Leave Tracker Template - Select Working Days and Weekends

  • You can update the holiday list in the worksheet named “Holiday List”. It will automatically be reflected in the tracker by highlighting those days in Orange color.
  • To enter the leave record for employees, use the relevant codes based on the leave type (you can customize these leave codes). For example, in the case of sick leave, use S, in the case of Vacation, use V, as so on.Excel Attendance Tracker Template 2020 - Holiday List
    • There are two codes reserved for half-day leaves. you can enter H1 or H2 for a half-day leave.Leave Codes You can use in the Leave tracker template in Excel Vacation Tracker Attendance
  • As soon as you enter the leave code for any employee, it gets highlighted in red (in the case of half-day, it gets highlighted in yellow). If that day is a weekend or holiday, the color would not change.
    • Column NJ (highlighted in green in the pic below) has the number of leaves of that employee in that month. It counts the leaves on working days only (those on weekends and/or holidays are not counted). Half-day leaves are counted as 0.5.
    • UPDATED: Column NK (highlighted in light red in the pic below) has the number of annual leaves taken by an employee. It counts the leaves on working days only (those on weekends and/or holidays are not counted). Half-day leaves are counted as 0.5.Leave planner in Excel - Free Template - number of Leaves Month Year
    • Columns NL to NU gives the leave break-up by leave code (for the entire year). This could be helpful to keep a track of the type of leave that has been availed. Note that while Half Leaves are counted as .5 leaves in the total count, in the leave break-up, it is counted as whole numbers. For example, 2 half leaves would lead to 1 leave count, but you’ll see two half leaves in the leave breakup.Leave Tracker Template in Excel - Leave Breakup by Type

I have created this leave/attendance tracker template for 20 employees. If you want to add more, just copy-paste the formatting and formulas for additional rows.

Also, since there is a VBA code involved, make sure you always save it with .xls or .xlsm extension.

Note: To update this template for any year, simply change the year value in cell A2. For example, to make it for 2017, just change the value in A2 to 2017. Also, you need to update the holiday list for the specified year.

The download file is completely unlocked so you can customize it to your needs.

Here is another version of the template that can track leaves for 50 employees.

FAQs on using this Leave Tracker Template

Since I created this vacation/leave tracker, I have been inundated with emails and comments. What you see now is a refined version that has been possible due to all the feedback that I have got.

Based on the questions I get repeatedly, I have created this FAQ section so that you can get an answer faster (instead of waiting for me to respond).

Here are the most common questions I get about the Leave tracker template:

Q: I tried downloading the file but it downloaded as a zip. How do I use it?
A: I have fixed this issue, and now you should be able to download the Excel file directly.

Q: When I change the month, the existing leaves are reflected in the changed month as well.
A: This happens when you use cell A1 to change the month. You need to use the arrow icons to change months. Cell A1 is to be used only to set the starting month of the calendar. For example, if you want the calendar to start from April, make cell A1 value 4. Now to move to March, use the triangle icons.

Q: I need to track multiple years of leaves. Do I need to create a new worksheet for each year (financial year)?
A: Yes! This leave tracker can only track leaves for a 12 month period. You need to create a copy for each year.

Q: Can I use my own leave codes?
A: Yes! You can change the leave code in cells NX8:NX17. You also need to specify the same code in cells NL5:NU5. For example, if you change the Work from Home leave code to X, you also need to change it in NR5.

I hope you find this leave/vacation tracker helpful.

  1. It would be great if there was a column for days available or accrued and days remaining. The days available could be a number entered, like 30, or it could be based on a formula of x days per month. The days remaining column should subtract either total days out or a selected subset. For example, I don’t get charged for my companies newly formed refresh/recharge days (covid inspired) but I am still out those days and added it as a code R above the half days.

  2. Hi, How can I share the file only allowing the users to navigate from month to month using the arrows while keeping the data protected? I tried different ways of protecting the sheet, but was not able to make it work. Please advise

  3. Is it possible to copy the sheet and update it to a new year. I tried that by changing the year, the months change but 2020 stayed. When you try using the arrow to go from month to month, it get a VBA Debug error. Please get back to me at your convenience. Would be happy to pay for a 2021 template if that is an option.

  4. This is a really great tracker. One thing I would like to be able to do is when I add a new employee, I would like it to not include that employee in previous months; and obviously i would like to be able to delete an employee without affecting their previous months. I know it is possible to do this, just looking for the best method to do so. Thanks in advance!

  7. Thank you for this. I would like the sheet to count certain types of leave on holidays, such as comp time earned. If they work a holiday, they receive one comp day to use at a later time. Is it possible to formulate so only these 2 types of leave (full comp day and half comp day) are counted on holidays and/or weekends? Thank you again for sharing this, it has been very helpful!

  8. Hi I love the template. I do have an issue. Having filled everything in and revamped some items to suit I have to password protect so that the staff members viewing it cannot edit, delete cells or make entries. they file a request based on the availability in the holiday window and I unprotect then make entries and then protect.
    The problem is that due to the macro that changes the view from month to the next month they cannot view the months as the macro does not work whilst the sheet is protected? Any fix?? thanks

  10. Thank you very much for sharing this, it is phenomenal! I am looking to extend this to include multiple balances of different leave types (vacation, sick). I would like to include the accrual in real-time for each month in addition to deducting any time taken. If they accrue 13.33 vacation hours the last day of month, with no probationary period, how can I have the beginning balance minus used time plus the accrual in real-time? Example, John has 120 hours vacation in March, used 20 hours in May and accrues 13.33 at the end of each month. I need the balance automatically populated for the date I open the workbook. Any guidance is truly appreciated! Thanks again!

  86. Hello,

    This is very nice, but I am using SharePoint. It doesn’t allow for macros. You don’t have a version without the VB macro to move from month to month or ideas on how to create one without VB macro?

    Regards,

  87. Thank you for the helpful leave tracker. One simple thing that can be done to faciliate customization is to use cell references in rows NL5:NU5, rather than hard-wired codes. Just have cell NL5, for example, =NX8; NL6 = NX9, etc.

  89. This spreadsheet is awesome!!! I’ve made few tweaks to match our organization’s attendance policy. However, I now need to be able to see a detailed listing of missed days (and the type of missed days) for one individual at a time….a report of some type that can be printed and placed in an employee’s personnel file.

    How can I do this?? I’ll be more than happy to share the current sheet I’m using.

  90. Are you able to add a rolling total of holiday taken month on month so that you can see how many remaining days the employee has left, I’m not sure how to add this into a workbook that has macros (so what I need is annual entitlement, leave taken this month, leave remaining, so that it carriers across the entire year. If you have any advise it would be appreciated. Thank you

  111. The Leave Tracker works great! I do have one suggestion. I have employees whose working days, are not the typical Monday – Friday with Saturday and Sunday off. I have employees that have different schedules. I was hoping you will be able to modify the “Select Working Days” function towards individual employees that way the formula can calculate Leave Name and code on each employee on any day of the week.

    For example: Monday – Sunday cells on calendar for each employee should have an option that designates working day a “Yes” or No” selection.

  130. It would be great if you could actually track numbers of hours of leave taken per day for each category (so rather the “A,” It’s “A8” for a full day’s annual leave; or “A5” for five hours annual leave on a day). For instance, if someone goes to the doctor and it takes three hours, it would be great to log three hours of sick leave on the specific day.

    Also, it would be great to test the number of days leave taken against the maximum allowed (for example; a maximum of 10 day’s annual leave per year; or 30 day’s sick leave per three year cycle).

    • I just adapted the sheet for this very thing. It’s not too tough as it’s done with conditional formatting.

      For example: Create a new conditional formatting rule using Classic and Formula =B8=$NX$10 applying to ‘Leave Tracker’!$B$8:$NI$27 and give it some custom colours. You will need to remove the NX line from the rule that currently turns it red. Good luck!

    Reply
  168. Hello there! This spreadsheet is awesome! However, the only problem that I see relates to the counting of holidays.

    Per the US Department of Labor’s Employer’s Guide to The Family and Medical Leave Act (WH-1421): Calculating FMLA Leave…

    Time that an employee is not scheduled to report for work may not be counted as FMLA leave. Only the amount of leave actually taken may be counted against the employee’s leave entitlement.

    When a holiday falls during a week in which an employee is taking the full week of FMLA leave, the entire week is counted as FMLA leave. However, when a holiday falls during a week when an employee is taking
    less than the full week of FMLA leave, the holiday is not counted as FMLA leave, unless the employee was scheduled and expected to work on the holiday and used FMLA leave for that day.

    An employee does not accrue FMLA leave at any particular hourly rate.

    Would you be able to address how to correct the leave count?

  195. Dear all,

    first of all, thank you very much. the excel to count annual leave is very helpful.

    is it possible to insert an extra cell or column for starting date of each employee my leave, let say, 12 days per year, and “as of today”, how many days he or she is entitled? Then, there’ll be the balance of each staff.

    Also, just in case, use the financial year Apr 2018 to Mar 2019 instead of Jan 2018 to Dec 2018, will it be difficult to modify the excel?

  262. This is the best format out there for leave trackers, as it deals with the whole team not just individual employees. But I’m running into 2 issues. (1) I change the number in A1 and use the scroll bar to switch months. But while it’s in one month, say November, and I click on the right arrow on the scroll bar, it doesn’t go to Dec. It’ll go straight to Feb of the next year or some other random month. It skips, it never just goes to next month. (2) I want to add more employees. So I copy the data and formulas and insert a new row. Everything works, formula-wise, but then now the scroll bar is covering the bottom most row, since the scroll bar doesn’t move even if you add rows.

  271. I love this template. I’m not good at Excel, but this doesn’t require me to be. How would I change the casual leave, which we don’t use, to something that we do use, comp time? I would love to have this box allow me to put in, for example, C2, which would equal two hours of comp time and have that reflected in the month and year totals. I figure the values would be based on .125 per hour, i.e. C8 would equal 1 day. Is this possible? I already added columns for the fluctuation in comp time off to the right and did a sum formula for the columns to reflect adding and subtracting comp hours. It would just be nice to look back on the month and see how much and when comp time was taken. As of now though if I put anything in a day box it equals one and I have to go back and change the total, which really doesn’t work because the template is not set up for three decimals and it rounds up.

    I’ve added some changes to the excel, I’ve added additional years since we’re halfway into 2017 and modify some of the codes to be in alignment with our policy. With that being said, the modifications took place, I’ve crossed path with issues with the additional years.

    As I was scrolling through next year 2018, the excel spreadsheet did not clear all data from the current year. What codes that was already plugged in this current year carried over to 2018. How can I go about clearing the codes for next calendar year?

    Also, I would like to update the Holidays page for the year of 2018. How can I go about updating next years holidays chart and so forth? If I am able to update the holidays sheet, will the holidays carry over in the leave tracker sheet for the year of 2018?

  294. This seems to work great. My company CEO uses it. I have a question/problem though. After he has entered 12 months of data, is there any way to add months, or do you have to start a fresh, blank template? He would like to have a continuous, single spreadsheet that keeps adding months to the end, or has 60 months or more. Otherwise, when a new sheet is created, the previous few months of data will be on a different sheet.
    In other words, is there any way to have a sheet which was started in May of 2016 have data through December of 2018 or longer?

  296. Hi Sumit,

    This is a great spreadsheet, thanks for sharing.

    I’m trying to adapt it to use it to track all hours worked by my employees for the month, quarter, and year.

    So in each day on the calendar, I enter the hours worked by the employee. Can you advise how I can create columns that total the hours worked for the current month, current quarter, and the entire year? I’m trying to learn how you set up your {sumproduct:offset} forumula, but don’t quite understand them as of yet.

    Thanks again,
    Shawn

    • You need to set the starting month from the A1 cell for once and use the scroll bar to change the months. If you change the months from A1 cell the dates would be mapped randomly to show some different value but exact.

  338. Hi there.
    Love the tool – so useful!!!!!

    Are you aware of a way that will stack 3 months at a time and show the month prior and after the selected month? So a manager can see 3 months of planned leave at a time?

    I have thought about linking multiple macros but I did find it difficult and kept getting errors.

    For example, if we have 3 employees and instead of viewing 3 months horizontally, we want to see vertically. Using what we would like to see for feb as an example I have listed it below…

    January 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 etc

    Employee 1

    Employee 2

    Employee 3

    Feb 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 etc

    Employee 1

    Employee 2

    Employee 3

    March 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 etc

    Employee 1

    Employee 2

    I am looking to create a copy of the “leave tracker” sheet, within the same workbook so that I can track year 1, year 2 etc. all in one document rather than creating a new one for each year.
    The only block I can see to this is the VB logic to show the calendar. As soon as I copy the sheet and start moving the scrolling bar the VB crashes to debug. Any idea on how to fix this. I expect it would be changing the VB logic / macro to apply to a sheet rather than workbook but cannot work it out.

  359. Hi Sumit…

    I downloaded your excellent Leave Tracker and I’ve added some other functionality to it. Great spreadsheet – love the slider changing to the relevant month. I’ve since added 4 sheets to it showing an Individual Calendar (showing all annual absences of all types), a group summary and a Management summary dashboard along with a Master data spreadsheet controlling some new functionality. Couldn’t have done it with your starting sheet though.

    As an idea for a future spreadsheet what about and ‘Issues / Risk Log Tracker’. This should ideally include the following:

    The same log should be able to track Issues or Risks.
    Each record must include
    ‘Unique Reference’ e.g. I-001 or R-001,
    ‘Raised By’ (Creator Name)
    ‘Date Logged’,
    ‘Issue Name’ (or ‘Customer Name’),
    ‘Description of Issue / Risk’ field (free text),
    ‘Current Owner’ (Owner name)
    ‘Priority’ (High, Medium, Low),
    ‘Age’ field (Age of issue in days)
    ‘Last Updated on’ (Date / Time field – flagged and highlighted if not updated in X days),
    ‘Status’ (Open, Closed, On Hold (with a triggered ‘Off Hold’ date),
    an associated ‘Audit’ record and, most importantly… Each record must be able to accommodate multiple Actions with each Action having a Time / Date stamp.

    A Log Dashboard would be useful e.g. X Records over Y days, XX Records over YY days, had XX records open, etc., etc.

    There are lots of Templates out there but all a little basic and importantly they don’t accommodate multiple actions (most Issues / rRsks are resolved with a series of actions which need to be recorded and tracked). The ability to produce a formatted history / report for an individual record would be nice – especially if it can be emailed to the person / persons responsible for the next action.

    What do you think? I developed a spreadsheet that does all the above but it is a little clumsy and probably not that efficient – I’m sure it can be improved on.

  366. Hi Sumit – great chart. I’ve been looking for something like this for a while. You say we can add more employees by copying and pasting additional rows – and that works well. However, I need to print the chart so staff know who is on leave when – we have 150 staff and only a certain number can be off at any time 🙂 When I add more rows, the scroll bar for the months is also printed. I tried moving it – but somehow that interferes with the VBA code and I have no idea how to alter that. Can you assist and/or tell me what I need to do to make this alteration. Generally there would only be 40 staff listed on one chart as I have created a different worksheet for each category of staff. Thanks again.

    Reply
    • Hi Sumit
      I think I found the answer. I had copied the worksheet so I could have different categories on staff on separate worksheets in the one workbook. That created a bug in the VBA code somehow – which was why I couldn’t move the scroll bar. Is there a way to duplicate the worksheet so I can have four categories of staff on different worksheets in the one workbook? I don’t really want to have to save it as four separate files. Will be a little tedious for the staff inputting the data if I do that?
      The question about the highlighting the cells without the “V” showing in the cell is still relevant if you can answer that as well please. Thanks

    Reply
    • Hi Megan. I would suggest, when you type “V” into the cells the person takes their vacation, this will put in “V” for vacation – just ignore all other types of leave and do not use those codes. I need the same and that is what I am doing.

  388. Hi, this template is super! However, I’d appreciate if you could help me out with my scenario – I’ve selected the year Jan’16-Dec’16, and updated the leave plans for my team. However, if I now change the A2 as 2017 (in order to plan for 2017 leaves starting Jan), the 2016 highlighted leave plans reflect in 2017 months, and are all messed up. I was expecting the cells to be reset as soon as I select another fiscal year! Is there a fix?

    Thanks

    • Hello Amrit, You can use this planner only for one financial year. In you want to use it for multiple years, you need to create a copy of this, so one for 2016 and a different one for 2017.

      Also, to change months, use the scroll bar and not cell A1.

    This is Arikrishnan. So pleasure to get in touch with you. I need a favour from you regarding a Tracker you updated for Attendance (http://trumpexcel.com/2015/03/….
    In this Tracker you have made the fields “Leave this Month (Cell NJ)”, “Leaves This Year (Cell NK)” till Cell NQ as constant and only cells allocated for every month changes.

    My requirement is that, I need those aforementioned fields needs to be changed as I would like to use those fields for monthly report. Can you assist me in this !!!!

  400. Hi Sumit,

    I have figured out what I was doing wrong! I had the right formula but missed that the formula was an Array Formula so consequently I was getting the #VALUE! when I spotted the { } brackets at the start and end of the formula I did some research which suggested after entering the additional information I use the key combination
    CTRL-SHIFT-ENTER rather than just Enter and it worked!

    Now have the spreadsheet working perfectly with 3 options for half-days and an additional column noting the lateness.

      • Hi Vanessa, Are you adding an extra row/ column or just amending one of the formulas?

        I had to add to add an extra row so firstly make sure you only move the rows directly below where you insert the formula so that the main spreadsheet is kept in its format. I copied one of the leave codes and then “Inserted Copied Cells” shifting the others down and changed the letters to the Code I wanted i.e. HS
        When you add the extra column, Copy the whole cell range and again insert the copied cells, this will shift the whole lot to the right then again change the code to match the one you want.
        Once you have completed the first two actions, you will then need to amend the formulas in the first cell you want to change, make the relevant changes directly into the cell then before exiting the line use the key combination
        CTRL-SHIFT-ENTER (This is because the formula is an Array formula)
        This will then save the amended formula for you. Once you have done this once, you can copy the cell and paste and this should work fine.
        I hope this helps, let me know if I can help any more, good luck,

            Vanessa

          • Hi Vanessa,

            I am delighted that you have managed to make the changes!!! All you need to do is amend the Year on the spreadsheet to 2017 and it will do the rest for you. What we have done here is to copy the sheet and change the date and save it as 2017.

            I hope this helps best regards,

          • I also need to know how to change the formula to include 6 half day options. I have them changed on the right but they dont figure in as half. I understand the crtl, shift etc but where do I put that in the formula? The formula shows as

            =SUMPRODUCT((OFFSET($A8,0,31*($A$3-1)+1,1,31)””)*(IF(OFFSET($A8,0,31*($A$3-1)+1,1,31)=$NS$6,0.5,1)*(OFFSET($A$4,0,31*($A$3-1)+1,1,31))))

            I know I the NS is no longer correct and should be OS but when I add the range it adds them to the total even without any entries being made

          • Hello Kary,

            As you will see I have had to put in a new set of formula for each separate half day that I had to record.

            =SUMPRODUCT((OFFSET($A70,0,1,1,372)””)*(IF(OFFSET($A70,0,1,1,372)=$OG$8,0.5,1)*(IF(OFFSET($A70,0,1,1,372)=$OG$5,0.5,1)*(IF(OFFSET($A70,0,1,1,372)=$OG$9,0,1)*(IF(OFFSET($A70,0,1,1,372)=$OG$3,0.5,1)*(OFFSET($A$3,0,1,1,372)))))))

            Before I did this, I had to create the half day holiday reference cells so I added to the existing table pushing the Days of the week table down. (I hope this makes sense where you have “NS$6” I changed mine to “OG$” then the cell number this is because I moved the cells to the right when I created the extra columns to show the half days under the “Annual Leave Breakup” columns (I simply copied the Holiday Column, pasted copied cells, shifting to the right and renamed the column).

            I hope this helps,

            Patrick

          • Yes this does make sense. I’m pretty good at excel but this one was beating me. I could get it to show .5 but then nothing else I entered for that month would add in the monthly total, just the yearly total. Thank you

  416. I LOVE this leave tracker and have tried to manipulate this form to track the services but can only enter 1 “letter” in a daily box.

    Do you have any type of excel form whereas you can still track the services each day but are able to add 2 or 3 codes in one box and it tallys it at the end based upon each client’s needs??

    For example, each client is given 100 units for Behavorial Health for either a 3, 6, 9 or 12 month period. As I enter the services daily, it will deduct from the available units till the next authorization period.

    • Hello, adding columns to the tracker will mess with the formulas. If you need to add columns, I suggest you do it to the right of the tracker area. You can mark casual leaves by simply coloring the cell and not entering anything in it. Also, to change the holidays, simply delete the data in the holidays tab and add the days you want to show up as holidays. Make sure you don’t delete the rows, only the data.

  440. In addition to days taken, some employees take a couple of hours here and there and I would like to be able to track those hours. How can I change it to show hours taken as well?

  441. Another random bug I just discovered. I added a new column after Column A to allow for First Name and Last Name Columns of employees. This new column removes the first day of the first month in the calendar. Everything else seems to be fine (I did adjust the slider macro format control to leave that column from moving but that seems to be unrelated). All other cells, formulas, and conditional formatting adjust when I insert that new column except for January 1 or June 1 or whatever the first month is set at. Any ideas?

  442. I LOVE this tracker so much. So adaptable to my needs. Thanks for making it and thanks for having it unlocked and open. I have discovered one small bug that I cannot figure out how to fix. I changed the start month to June to coincide with our fiscal year (using the dropdown menu in A1) and the the year to 2015 so it goes June 2015-May 2016. It does not account for the leap year in February of this year. But when I have it set to the calendar year of 2016 (Jan-Dec) the leap year is there. I have been able to simply type “29” in the box where it should be and everything seems to work fine, but was wondering if that is causing any unseen issues that I haven’t noticed. Thanks again for such an amazing workbook template! Amazing!

  444. Hi Sumit. Awesome work with the tracker. You have a breakup for the year, can you please advise how can I break up the leaves taken per month the same way. Secondly, how can I assign a different colour for different leave types?

    Reply
    • Changing the colors is super simple (I literally just did that to mine 5 mins ago). Go to Conditional Formatting > Manage Rules. Notice the rule for the Red and Yellow (those are the ones to pay attention to).For yellow (for example) it is only the half day. It looks at B8(don’t put $ in this piece) and compares that (or whatever date cell you are on) to $NT$6 (use the $ here) which is the code ‘H’ for half day listed in the small area on the top right of the worksheet listing codes. You can add more codes like this. Conditional Formatting > Manage Rules > ‘+’ > Style = ‘Classic’, Next drop down menu = ‘Use formula to determine which cells to format’. formula would look like ‘=B8=$NT$2. Custom Format – whatever color(s)/Fill(s) you want. Click OK. Change ‘Applies to’ to “‘Leave Tracker’!$B$8:$NI$25” which is the entire calendar piece. Make sure you then edit the current “Red” formula to remove the $NT$2 code in that formula (“=OR(B8=$NT$2, B8=$NT$3, etc). If you have one color for each code, you will remove that entire formula and just have one that looks like “=B8=$NT$x” for each code. Hope this isn’t too confusing.

  445. Hi Sumit! I’m having an issue with my template, when ever I highlight a cell in March 2016 as a Half Day (H) for example, it duplicates it in the other years (March 2015), and when we erase the duplicate, the original cell highlight disappears as well. Not sure how to fix this, any ideas?

I have been able to add extra holiday types, etc, but am struggling with the part where a sick day is added to the number of leave days per month and year. I have added a holiday entitlement column, also, which then works out how much leave is still available. However, I am struggling to workout for leave which taken in hours rather than a full day. Do you have any advice, please? Thanks, Deb

  462. Hello, This excel template has the potential to be absolutely fantastic – thank you very much!

    I am just stuck on one thing though. I need to enter retroactive leave for the years of 2014 and 2015 to accurately check leave balances for staff in the present. I added in all of the relevant Holidays for 2014/2015/2016 into the [Holidays] worksheet.
    I then changed the value in A2 to read ‘2014’. I then scrolled through the months and entered in the leave. However, when I change the A2 value to read ‘2015’ and then I scroll through the months to add leave for 2015, the leave I added for 2014 is still associated to those days.
    Is there a way I can add in leave days for multiple years without it affecting each year’s data?

      The month number is cell A1 is to give the user the flexibility to
      change the lave year. For example, to have the year as Jan-Dec, make A1
      value 1, for Apr-Mar, make it 4. . Once you have set leave year, you
      need to use the scroll bar only to go to next/previous month.

  467. There is a bug in the month selection. A1 and A3 are both being used to determine the month, but they change independently. For example, if I scroll forward to March, A1 will stay static. If I then select the third month using A1, I am taken to June instead of March.

    1) I’ve to put the log-in time of each employees when they are present. So, in column NJ (Leaves This Months) & in NK (Leaves This Year) should pull the total no. of days and ignore the cell were the log-in time is mentioned
    .currently if we put the login time then it is getting added as leaves.
    2) I’ve added three more column, which in NU, NV & NW this column will count the no. days he/she had login in particular region so that in end of the month it will be easy to calculate the shift allowance. for eg. if a person log-in at 12:15 3 days, then column NU (UK Login i.e 11:15 am to 8:30 PM) will show as 3 days.
    It will be really helpful if you can help me in putting the formula to get the desire results,

    Is there some way to easily change the totals at the end of the row to equal hours instead of days?
    Example:
    Sick Leave = 8 hours
    Vacation = 8 hours
    Half Day = 4 hours
    (or if someone happens to leave for an appointment)
    Appointment = 2 hours
    and in the final column have a calculation that would take those hours and give a total amount of days?

    • Hello Kris.. You can achieve that by multiplying the leave count with the number of working hours in a day. For example, if the total leaves for a month is 2, then hours could be 2*8 (considering an eight hour work day)

  496. Hi Sumit, I have a few specific changes that I am trying to make to the sheet. Would it be possible for me to send this to you over email so that i can explain it well. I can then post a summary on the comments section for everyone else.

  497. I really like this tracker, any ideas on how I would go about setting up an automated system for personal and sick time accrual so i dont have to go in each month and do it manually?

  498. I would like to amend the sumproduct formula in NJ to exclude a all leave codes except annual leave and half days so they do not get counted. All other leave is recorded but does not need to be counted. I have tried to get to grips with this formula, but am finding it difficult. Also if I click on any cell in NJ, click in the formula bar and hit enter, it comes up with #value! even though I have made no changes. Can you please break your formula down so I can try to amend it. I have never used sumproduct before.

    • I had a Eureka moment. I changed the “” to =$nn$3 and it has worked. However, if I needed to include other leave types, I would not know how to accomplish that.

      • Hello Dawn.. there are five types of leave codes already.. if you need to have more, simply use any alphabet code. As soon as you enter any code, it will be counted as one.

        – Change Leave code
        – Add Holiday

        • – Changing month start and end date would be difficult.
          – You can change the leave codes in cells NN2 to NN6. The tracker, however can track any code you enter in it.
          – You can easily add holidays in the table in the holidays tab.

  521. Couple of questions. Will the sheet keep a running total the time taken off for every employee (For example, so you can see in May how much time was taken?) If I revert the sheet to a google doc with the formulas transfer?

    Reply
    • Hello Jennifer.. It keeps a track of all the leaves taken in the entire year for all the employees. So if you mark the leaves for May, it will show the total for May. If you then mark the leaves for June, it will show the total for June, however, if you go back to May, it will have the leaves for May as well.

      I haven’t checked this on Google Doc, but I feel this wont work in Google Docs.

  522. Sumit, I really like the lay out and ease of use of the spreadsheet, the only component that I am missing is the ability to see the yearly total of vacation days used and be able to subtract it from each employees yearly vacation accrual. This would then allow me to see what vacation total for the year has been used and what is remaining. Just curious if there is a way I can add these functions. If you have any tips on how it would be greatly appreciated.

  530. Within my office, many of the employees have different start and end dates for their contracts (which roll-over 6 months at a time). Using this template, is there a way to calculate the number of days of annual leave they have taken only within their current contracted 6 months.
    For example: For Person 1 – I would need to know how many days they had taken between January 28th and June 28th. But for someone else this might be March 28th – September 28th.
    I understand I could calculate this by editing the formula =COUNTA($B8:$NI8), but I would have to allocate these for each employee. Is there a way to change the formula so that I could input Start & End dates for each persons contract somewhere else, and the COUNT formula would then use the information in these cells to count within the appropriate range of dates?

    From here I have no problem calculating remaining days. It’s just calculating individual contracts that is causing issues.

But you have a valid point, and we can improve it by highlighting any cell that has something in it. Thanks for bringing this to my notice 🙂

      • Sumit, this is an amazing spreadsheet. Similar to April, I need to track the balance of vacation leaves throughout the course of the calendar year. I cannot find a formula in cell NK8 that you reference above. I just downloaded the leave tracker this morning, so maybe it was an earlier version that contained a formula in NK8?

        Further, in order to track total vacation days taken for the entire year, how would I adjust the # of leaves formula?

        Reply
      • Hi Sumit,Its wonderful & excellent tool. After searching many templates on website I found this useful. A question how can i amend count formula in cell NK8 to exclude holidays & weekends.(I know it can be manually done but not entering any value in this column, just curious to know it there is any formula)

        Reply
      • This is really helpful. However, when I added that formula, it treated “h” as full days, giving me a total count of 4 instead of 3.5. Any recommendations? Thanks in advance.

        Reply
  550. I changed the condition for highlighting the days for the leave code – I first defined the list of codes as ‘LeaveCodes’ and then changed the condition to – =IF(ISERROR(VLOOKUP(B8,LeaveCodes,1,FALSE)),FALSE,TRUE), this makes it easier to extend the table of leave codes as you only then need to ensure the name matches the longer list. It could also be used to apply ‘Data Validation’ to all the dates. It is also something that can be used to track other type of calendar events – a lot of work must have gone into this, well done.

            Thank you so much for a great template.

            A few questions:

            1.How can we keep track of total vacation time allowed for each employee and then track the remaining vacation?

            2. Can you explain the formula a bit? I am trying to edit to accommodate for quarter day and half day vacations but it gives me error.

            Thank you,
            S

          • Thanks for this template, I have a question. How would list the counts for vacation days and sick days separate instead of having just the total of all days?

          • Hi Sumit, i need to change the standard year to Jan-December year. Can you guide on how to do it?

          • Same problem here. Everything drags over into the other months. If I mark April 3rd as a V for Vacation day then the 3rd of every month becomes a vacation day for that employee. If I delete one, they all delete.

          • Hello Megan.. I believe you are using the value in cell A1 to change the month. Cell A1 need to be set only once, and then use the scroll bar to change the month.

          • Thank you so much for the reply! I was unclear with my question. I actually have two. 1). I have added additional “leave codes”. Some of these additional “leave codes” I would like to have counted as 0.5, however, they are all being counted as 1.0. How do I change that?
            2). How can I view multiple months at a time? I need to see 6 months in advance all at once for schedule comparison. I can unhide the columns, however, I then lose the dates at the top.
            This is masterful! Thank you for the creation, as once I have it completely tweaked, it will make tracking so easy!!!

          • A1 is not to be used to change the months. For that you need to use scroll bar. A1 is to be used to specify the calendar year. SO if you want the year from April-march, then you would have 4 in cell A1.

          • Hi Sumit I enjoy your Leave Tracker.. but I have a question. Is it possible to include a summary Sheet where in you can see all the Employee and the Date they tag as Leave in that summary for whole year?

          • The scroll bar is not user friendly as it changes at random. Also is there an easier way to view a single person’s vacation details?
