Attendance codes that keep Excel sheets readable
Consistent codes make monthly totals easier, whether you count by hand or add formulas later. Start simple, then expand only if your policy needs more leave types.
- Use one letter per status across the whole month
- Leave weekend or holiday columns blank or mark them clearly
- For automatic Present/Absent totals, see the Academy formula guide
| Code | Meaning | When to use |
|---|---|---|
| P | Present | Employee or student attended the full day or session |
| A | Absent | No attendance recorded for that date |
| L | Leave | Approved leave, sick leave, or other policy leave |
| H | Holiday | Public holiday or non-working day |
| Late or T | Tardy | Optional when lateness must be tracked separately |
