| Column Name | Data Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Date | DateTime (Date Only) | Entry date formatted as mm/dd/yyyy. Enforced via data validation. |
| Employee ID | Text/Number (5-digit code) | Unique identifier for each employee (e.g., EM001). |
| Full Name | Text (Up to 50 characters) | Name of the employee. Pulls from master list using VLOOKUP. |
| Department | List (Drop-down) | From pre-defined departments: HR, Finance, IT, Operations, Marketing. |
| Task Type | List (Drop-down) | Categorizes work: Meetings, Project Work, Administrative Tasks, Training. |
| Start Time | DateTime (Time Only) | HH:MM format (e.g., 09:00). Validated to prevent invalid times. |
| End Time | DateTime (Time Only) | HH:MM format. Must be later than Start Time. |
| Break Duration (mins) | Numerical (0 to 120) | Time taken for breaks; automatically deducted from total hours. |
| Total Hours Worked | Calculated (Decimal) | Automatically computed as: (End Time - Start Time) - Break Duration. |
| Status | List (Drop-down) | Pending, Approved, Rejected. Used for approval workflows in office management. |
FILTERS AND FORMULAS REQUIRED
- Total Hours Worked:
=IF(AND(End_Time>Start_Time, Break_Duration<=120), ((End_Time-Start_Time)*24) - (Break_Duration/60), "Invalid") - Workday Flag:
=IF(OR(MOD(Date,1)=0, ISBLANK(Date)), "Valid", "Invalid")– Ensures valid dates. - Employee Name Lookup:
=VLOOKUP(Employee_ID, Employee_Master!$A$2:$B$100, 2, FALSE)– Pulls names from the master list. - Daily Department Summary: Used on the "Department Summary" sheet:
=SUMIFS(Time_Log!$H:$H, Time_Log!$C:$C, $A2, Time_Log!$B:$B, "Finance")
CONDITIONAL FORMATTING RULES
- Over 8 Hours Worked: Red fill with dark text – highlights potential overtime for review.
- Status = Rejected: Light red background with black text – draws attention to unapproved entries.
- Break Duration > 30 mins: Amber highlight – flags extended breaks that may require justification.
- Empty Cells in Critical Columns: Red border and warning icon – ensures data completeness.
