  • I have used this template for years and love it!

    However, today I am creating a new register for the 23/24 year and when I put the end date to be in 2024, on the Settings sheet, it doesn’t show the correct end date on the Class and Student Attendance sheets correcty, which then makes those sheets not work.

    If I change the end date to be in 2023, or earlier, then it all works ok…it is just if the end date year is in 2024, or later.

    I have downloaded new files and it produces the same problem. Any suggestions?

    • Thank you for using our template.

      As per our email communication the template is designed to track the attendance till the current date and since the start date entered was a future date, the dashboard was not populating the data.

      Best wishes.

      As of now, the number of holidays is set at 20. We might increase the same in future releases.
