What is in this workbook?
This workbook has three sheets: Retail Leave Dashboard, Retail Leave Requests, and Setup. Retail Leave Dashboard is the quick-review surface, Retail Leave Requests is the editable working log, and Setup holds supporting inputs, reusable context, or working rules.
How the workflow and formulas work
Use Retail Leave Requests for a safe staff ID, operating group, role, requested dates, approval status, approver, coverage owner, allowance, used days, and calculated remaining balance; keep leave-year and review rules in Setup. Retail Leave Requests calculates requested days in column F, status-aware remaining balance in column L, and same-group date overlap in column M with COUNTIFS; a current Declined request returns zero and other Declined requests are excluded. Column N applies the coverage-review gate, while Retail Leave Dashboard counts requests, pending items, requested days, overlaps, and rows requiring coverage review.
How to use it in Griddy
Replace the sample values before sharing, then review the calculated Retail Leave Dashboard fields after editing the working log. The workbook includes a dropdown validation resource and a conditional-formatting resource for the relevant review or status fields.
Keep sensitive records out of the workbook
Use staff IDs and operating locations. Keep customer, payroll, medical, credential, and leave-reason details in approved systems. This workbook is a planning aid and does not replace accounting, legal, HR, tax, or education-record systems.
