Don’t worry, I want this to be a service to you: I will treat your data very carefully and will not fill your inbox with spam.

I started to work on this spreadsheet after I decided to start a photography project. Knowing how much I like taking photographs, I decided to set up some boundaries on the number of hours that I was allowed to spend on the project every week.

I started to note down the hours of the day when I started and stopped working on the project. Every week I then calculated how many hours I had worked. I thought this operation was a waste of time, so I decided to create the Time card calculator, a spreadsheet that could do this operation for me.

Once the spreadsheet is open, I select my name and click on the “Enter/exit” button. The Time card calculator spreadsheet automatically records the current time and date. I repeat the operation when I stop working on my project. If I forget to record the moment when I started/stopped working, I can do it afterwards by clicking on the “Insert single entry manually” button (if I forget to enter both the start and end time I click on “Insert double entry manually”). At the end of each week I get a summary of how many hours I have worked on my project.

The spreadsheet allows to record the working hours of more than one person. If it was opened on a PC at the entrance of a company, for example, the employees could use it for recording the entrance and exit time. Coloured indicators allow to see at a glance who is in and who is out of the company (after the entrance, the label on the side of the person’s name passes from red to green). The spreadsheet can also be used to automatically calculate the number of hours that each employee worked in a certain period of time.

Finally, I find this spreadsheet useful if I am working on various projects and need to record the number of hours worked on each one. To do that I treat the list of employees as a list of projects. Every time I switch from a project to another I “Exit” the first one and “Enter” the second one. At the end of the week the spreadsheet automatically calculates the hours worked on each projects, which I can then forward to my accounts.
