In this Google Sheets video tutorial I demonstrate how to use and improve Google Sheets free online attendance tracker template. The Google Sheets attendance tracker template is pretty good out of the box but there are significant improvements that can be made.

The improvements I make to the template are:
- I automate the dates that appear in the tracker so that they automatically exclude non-working days and holidays (including school holidays).
- I apply conditional formatting to the tracker to make it easier to read
- I Include a count of days attended (for some reason not included in the original template)
