WPS Spreadsheet allows you to quickly set up a functional timesheet that helps individuals and tiny teams record daily work hours without relying on advanced applications
Open WPS Spreadsheet and select the option to create a new, untitled spreadsheet
Begin by labeling the first row with clear column headers such as Date, Start Time, End Time, Break Duration, Total Hours, and Notes
The column labels will structure your information for better clarity and faster modifications
Next, adjust the column widths to ensure all information is visible
Use the mouse to pull the divider between column headers until the text fits perfectly
For the Date column, format the cells to display dates in a clear format like YYYY-MM-DD by selecting the cells, right-clicking, choosing Format Cells, and then selecting Date from the list
Format the Start Time and End Time cells using the Time setting to validate entries like 09 00 and 17 30
Place a calculation formula in the top cell of the Total Hours column
If your Start Time is in column B, End Time in column C, and Break in column D, type = (C2 – B2 – D2) 24 into the Total Hours cell
This formula subtracts the start time and break time from the end time and converts the result from days to hours by multiplying by 24
Always enter times using the 24-hour system to prevent miscalculations
After typing the formula, confirm with Enter and use the auto-fill handle to copy it to all corresponding rows
For tracking multiple staff members or multiple shifts per day, place an Employee Name column immediately to the left of the Date column
It allows you to distinguish each person’s hours and simplifies future sorting or filtering operations
Use the Notes field to jot down quick annotations such as “Overtime”, “Holiday”, or “Sick Leave”
Improve the appearance by applying borders around all cells and making the header row bold
Highlight the top row, press Bold, then apply borders using the Borders menu to outline every cell
You can also apply a light background color to the header row to visually separate it from the data
Save your file regularly and consider naming it something descriptive like Employee Timesheet Month Year
Before printing, access Print Preview, then tweak margins and scaling settings to ensure full visibility
If you need to print only specific rows, define a custom print range using the Print Area tool
Finally, establish a routine for updating the timesheet
Insist that all staff record their daily hours promptly to reduce inaccuracies and omissions
For added convenience, you can create a template from this timesheet by saving it as a wps office下载 Spreadsheet Template file
This enables you to generate new monthly sheets instantly, preserving the layout and formulas
With this simple setup, you now have a reliable, easy-to-maintain timesheet that requires no special software or extensive training
