    • You are welcome.

      You can enter the holidays in the Holidays table in the Settings. Days entered in the Holidays table will not be displayed for attendance register. In the attendance register, you can choose P, A or L.

      Thank you,

      This is the formula used for conditional formatting today’s date. =D$8=TODAY()

      Hope that helps.

  • Thanks for sharing the template. Is there any way to add 100+ students? Also, Is there any way absences can be excused (E) or unexcused (U)? I would appreciate any help. Thank you.

    • A new version of the template will be available this month (Feb 2015). It can handle more than 100 students and will be flexible on how attendance is recorded.

    • I am sorry. I am not sure what you need. If attendance needs to be taken for each subject separately, a separate file can be used for each subject.

      Currently, the template is for a class as a whole and not for separate subjects. You could make a copy of the template and use it separately for each subject.
      You can save as a PDF and e-mail via outlook.

  • first of all, Thank you very much. The Program is very useful and easy to learn, but just a question? In our school, we have long holidays Maybe 15 days or 5 days not just one day, how can I edit these holidays in programs.
    Thank you

    • Please e-mail me at indzara at gmail and I will send a version that allows 150 holidays. Hopefully soon, I will upload that here, as I have received multiple requests for that feature. Thanks.
