Whoever records who was in · Shift workplaces, clinics, schools and care homes — usually looking for this when attendance is recorded on paper and never totalled.

Works in Excel 2013 and later, Microsoft 365, Google Sheets and LibreOffice Calc. Set up to print landscape on one page wide. Version 1, updated 25 September 2026.
There are free templates. Why this one?
There are, and some are fine. The difference is what has been checked. This file was built from scratch, then every formula in it was recalculated by a separate checker that compares each result against an independently worked-out answer — 38 of them here. A template that looks right and totals wrong is worse than no template at all, and that is the usual failing of one downloaded from a search result.
It also opens with sample rows already filled in, so you can see every formula working before you touch it, and it is set up to print without fighting the page setup. No watermark, and you can use it commercially.
About this Attendance Register template
An attendance register gives a clear record of who was in, who was off and why. This Excel template uses a ten-day grid where each day is marked P for present, A for absent, H for holiday or S for sick, picked from a dropdown so entries stay consistent.
It tallies each code per person and works out their attendance percentage, and the summary shows average attendance, total absences and sick days, and how many people had perfect attendance.

How to use the Attendance Register in Excel
Mark each day P (present), A (absent), H (holiday) or S (sick) using the dropdown. The tallies and attendance rate follow.
The file opens with sample rows so you can see every formula working before you change anything. Type your own figures over them. When you need more rows, insert them inside the existing block rather than underneath it, so the totals keep covering every row.
Functions and formulas it uses
Every one of these exists in Excel, Google Sheets and LibreOffice, so the file behaves the same wherever you open it.
AVERAGECOUNTACOUNTIFIFERRORSUMQuestions about the Attendance Register
Why use codes rather than typing reasons?
The tallies count exact codes. The dropdown keeps every entry to P, A, H or S so the totals are right.
Can I track more than ten days?
Yes. Insert extra day columns inside the existing grid so the tallies include them.
Does it work in Google Sheets?
Yes. The dropdowns and COUNTIF tallies work the same in Excel, Google Sheets and LibreOffice.
