This is for advanced learners

[@spreadsheetlife]

I do my best to demonstrate the step-by-step process to make it simple to follow along, and I also try to include some advanced features so even seasoned Excel users have new things to learn. 😄👍

[@annaleenkim8150]

this is very useful and clear to follow. thank you. but my percentage column is not properly working in the summary sheet. I have done exactly as you have shown but my C column (that reflects the D column in numbered percentage) shows up as ###### if there is any data on it. if there is no data, it just shows up as 0%. it works fine for the monthly sheets but I cant seem to find the problem for the summary sheet. could you please help?

[@spreadsheetlife]

I can help for sure. Could you email me your file or a screenshot at [e-mail]? This way, I can more easily take a look at it for you.

[@pennyp9360]

Thanks so much, I've been trying to make an attendance tracker for ages. Is there a way to separate the percentages (yes% or no%) or make the X negligible?

[@spreadsheetlife]

You're very welcome. 😊 I'm not sure what you mean by separate the percentages. Could you clarify a little for me? As for the X. If you never enter an X, and only enter Y and N, then the Attendance Tracker will still work just fine. Does this answer your question?

[@pennyp9360]

Hi Thanks for responding. Is there a way to show a percentage for y and a percentage for n instead of combing them as one. Hopefully that makes sense. Im new to excel 🫤🤯

[@spreadsheetlife]

Of course! Yes, this is possible. If you'd like, send me an email with your completed spreadsheet. I can add in those percentages for you on the Summary page, and then send it back to you with a brief explanation. How does that sound?

[@pennyp9360]

@@spreadsheetlife That is amazing.. thanks so much!!!🙂🙂

[@faptainmugen1298]

=IF(COUNTA(F4:AJ4)0,0,1-AM4/COUNTA(F4:AJ4)) What can I add to this formula in order to add a date range as a criteria as I want to make a weekly tracker?

[@spreadsheetlife]

What an interesting idea. To better answer your question, could you give me some more details about how you would like your weekly tracker to work?

[@DaleenLeroux]

good day can you help. I want to count the X for (excused ) with my percent

[@spreadsheetlife]

I will do my best to help for sure! So as shown in the video, all X (or excused absences) will be counted as Yes values essentially for the percentage. Are you wanting to have the X count as a No instead towards the percentage?

[@jeaquettajohnson913]

The =sum(jan:dec!al4) formula gives me an error. Can someone advise?

[@spreadsheetlife]

You are welcome to send me an email with your file attached, and I can take a look at it for you.

[@justinb3355]

The =sum(jan:dec!al4) formula gives me an error too! How can I fix it

[@spreadsheetlife]

Hmm...it's hard to say without more context. Send me your file at [e-mail], and I can take a quick look at it for you if you'd like.

[@naailah1231]

How can I only calculate the Yes's for attendance?

[@spreadsheetlife]

In other words, are you asking how to write the formula so that only "Yes" counts and both "No" and "Excused" do not count?

[@naailah1231]

​@spreadsheetlife Yes, just need to record the Ys. Also this tutorial was incredibly helpful ❤

[@spreadsheetlife]

I'm so glad to hear that this tutorial is helpful! For the formula, change the formula at 18:50 to the following. =IF(SUM(F6:H6)=0,0,F6/SUM(F6:H6)) This will make it so only Yes will count towards the percentage.
