Formulas Required
Hours Worked (Column H): =IF(G2="","",IF(F2="",0,MOD(G2-F2,1)*24))
This formula calculates time difference in hours (handling overnight shifts).
Overtime (Column I): =IF(H2>8, H2-8, 0) for daily overtime.
For weekly totals, use a SUMIFS with date range and employee ID to total hours per week.
Employee Name (Column C): =VLOOKUP(B2, EmployeeDatabase!$A:$G, 3, FALSE)
This pulls the full name from the Employee Database based on Employee ID.
Weekly Total Hours: Use a helper table with SUMIFS to group entries by employee and week.
Conditional Formatting Rules
- **Over 8 hours in a single day:** Highlight cells in Column H with red fill if > 8.
- **Overtime (more than 40 hrs/week):** Apply light orange background to rows where weekly total exceeds threshold.
- **Absent/Leave Status:** Color-code entries in Column J using green for "On Leave", gray for "Absent".
- **Missing Time Entries:** Highlight blank cells in Start or End Time columns with yellow.
