Hi Shannen C.,
Thank you for reaching out. To calculate total leave used and remaining PTO in your Employee attendance record.xlsx file, please follow the instructions below. These steps will help you create a summary table that includes all leave types (Vacation, Sick leave, Bereavement, Other) and determine how much PTO each employee has left.
- Create a Summary Table
In a new sheet or at the bottom of the Employee Leave Tracker sheet, create a table with the following headers:

You can adjust the PTO Allowed column if different employees have different entitlements.
- Calculate Total Leave Used
In the Total Leave Used column (e.g., cell B2), enter the following formula:
- =SUMIF('Employee Leave Tracker'!B:B, A2, 'Employee Leave Tracker'!F:F)
- 'Employee Leave Tracker'!B:B refers to the Employee name column.
- A2 is the employee name in your summary table.
- 'Employee Leave Tracker'!F:F refers to the Days column.
This formula sums all leave days (regardless of type) for the employee listed in A2.
- Calculate Remaining PTO
In the Remaining PTO column (e.g., cell D2), enter: =C2-D2
- C2 is the PTO Allowed.
- B2 is the Total Leave Used.
This will subtract the total leave used from the allowed PTO to show how many days remain. If the result is negative, it means the employee has exceeded their PTO allowance.
- Step 4: Copy the Formulas Down
Drag the formulas in columns B and D down for each employee row in your summary table.
Here is the final result in Employee attendance record.xlsx file:

If you have any further questions and concerns, please don’t hesitate to ask. Looking forward to your response.
