Steps to Make Attendance and Overtime Calculation Sheet in Excel

Suppose, You are a manager, and Robert De Niro is an employee of your company who works in the IT section. You need to make De Niro’s attendance and overtime Calculation Sheet in Excel. The following steps will help you to do this.

Step 1: Set Year, Month, Date, and Weekend Data in a Helper Sheet

• Before making the drop-down list, we need to make a dataset containing Years, Months, Days, and Weekends in a separate worksheet (named Data) as shown in the following image.

• Now, select cell B8, then go to the Data tab >> Data Tools >> Data Validation. A Data Validation Window will pop up.

• At the Allow box, choose List >> in the source box select the Year column from the sheet named Data (A2:A11). Next, click on OK.

• Now, here you will see the drop list of years. In a similar manner, you can create drop-down lists for Month, Date, and Weekend. Every time you have to choose their respective data from the source sheet called Data.

Step 2: Set Dates in Main Calculation Sheet

• Now, to work on the main table, we need to set the Day. To do so, first, you need to type the following formula into cell B11. Press ENTER.

• For the rest of the cells, type =B11+1 into cell B12, press ENTER. Then, by dragging the Fill Handle down, you will complete the Day column with the name of the weekdays.

• In a similar manner, you can set the Date column by applying the following formula to cell C11, then press ENTER.

• Again, into cell C12, just type =C11+1 to get the consecutive dates. Then, you need to drag down the formula to the rest of the cells.

Note:

You can specify the weekend. Drop-down menus offer a variety of options. You can choose no weekend, a 1-day weekend (Mon, Tue…), or a 2-day weekend (Fri & Sat, Sat & Sun..).

Step 3: Calculate Total Working Hours

• Before going further calculation, we need to put some inputs such as the data of Entrance and Exit.
• Inbuilt checks ensure ‘Entrance at’ isn’t later than ‘Exit at’. In such a scenario, the user would not be able to enter the time.

• Our first step will be to calculate the total working hours and enter them into cell F11 using the following formula. Then dragging down the Fill handle, you will get the total working hours for the rest of the weekdays.

In this case, we subtract the end time from the start time and multiply it by 24 to convert it to decimal hours.

Step 4: Set Regular Office Hours and Calculate Overtime Hours

• To set regular office hours just type the following formula into cell G11.

Here the MIN function results in the smaller one between 8 and total hours.

• Again, just type the following formula into cell H11 to get the overtime hours.

There’s not a lot to see. To calculate overtime, we subtract regular hours from total hours. If total time equals regular time, the result will be zero.

Step 5: Calculate Overtime Pay

• By using this formula, we can calculate overtime pay.

Here H8 contains the value of overtime pay hourly. If we multiply this value with overtime hours, it will return the overtime pay.

Step 6: Calculate Total Pay

• In Cell J11, we use the following formula to get the Total Pay.

To break down the formula, (G11*$G$8) calculates regular pay, while I11 denotes overtime pay. Our total pay is the sum of these two.

Step 7: Make a Weekly Summary

• Finally, to calculate the weekly summary, we can use the SUM function. For example, if we want to get total pay for the whole week, just type the following formula into cell J18.
