Watch Video – Make an Hourly Schedule in Excel
Step 1: Create the Dataset with Proper Information
- Make a heading, and below that type “Date” to store the date in the cell.
- As we are creating an hourly schedule for a workstation thus we need “No”, “ID”, “Employee Name”, and “Total Working Hour” to complete the dataset.
Step 2: Insert Time in Total Working Hour Column
- We will make borders for some columns to store the time hour-wise.
- The workstation’s starting time is “8:00 AM,” so we put “8:00” in the cell (F6).
- Change the rotation of the text by selecting Rotate Text Up from the Home ribbon.
- Pull the Fill Handle row-wise to fill with the leading time with a gap of 1 hour.
- We will get the hours in cells (F6:T5).
- Fill with color on the cells (F6:T6). Our final table will look exactly like the following.
Step 3: Fill with Data to Calculate Total Hour
- Fill the cells with data to calculate the total hour. Let’s begin.
- Collecting data from the workstation we got the “Employee Name”, and “ID” for the employees appointed to the floor.
- We collected how much time “Ashley” worked and in which hours.
- We found a “10 Hours” in which he put effort into the workstation.
- We collected data, which represented employees’ efforts on an hourly schedule.
