Building a simple timesheet in WPS Spreadsheet is a straightforward process that can help individuals and small teams track work hours efficiently without needing complex software



Open WPS Spreadsheet and select the option to create a new, untitled spreadsheet



Set up the first row with clearly labeled columns including Date, Start Time, End Time, Break Duration, Total Hours, and Remarks



These headings ensure your data remains well-organized and simple to maintain over time



Make sure every column is wide enough to display its full content by resizing as needed



Click and drag the boundary between column letters at the top of the spreadsheet to widen them as needed



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



In the first cell below Total Hours, insert a formula to auto-calculate hours worked



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



It calculates the net work hours by removing start and break durations from the end time, then scales the result to hours using 24



Make sure all time entries are in 24-hour format to avoid calculation errors



Once the formula is entered, hit Enter and drag the small square at the bottom-right corner of the cell down the column



If you plan to enter multiple entries per day or need to track multiple employees, add an Employee Name column to the left of the Date column



It allows you to distinguish each person’s hours and simplifies future sorting or filtering operations



In the Notes column, include short labels like "Overtime", "Holiday", or "Late Arrival" to indicate exceptions



Improve the appearance by applying borders around all cells and making the header row bold



Select the header row, click the Bold button on the toolbar, and then use the Borders tool to draw lines around each cell



Consider giving the header row a soft tint to make it stand out from the rest of the table



Save your file regularly and consider naming it something descriptive like Employee Timesheet Month Year



To print the timesheet, go to the Print Preview option and adjust margins and scaling so that everything fits neatly on the page



Select the rows you want to print and assign them as the Print Area for targeted output



Develop a regular schedule for maintaining and updating your timesheet



Encourage team members to enter their hours daily to avoid discrepancies and forgotten details



For added convenience, you can create a template from this timesheet by saving it as a WPS Spreadsheet Template file



You’ll be able to generate fresh versions each month with no need to recreate columns or formulas



With this simple setup, you now have a reliable, easy-to-maintain timesheet that requires no special software or extensive training
