About the Free Excel Template
The Excel template provides a clear monthly overview for tracking vacations, sick days, and other absences. It’s easy to use, and includes two basic absence types to help you get started quickly.
When to switch to the Team Absence App
Excel can be a solid starting point for tracking absences. But once your team grows, spreadsheets tend to get messy: multiple versions circulate, updates are made in outdated files, and Excel lacks options for structure and visibility.
That’s where Team Absence for Microsoft Teams comes in.
Instead of maintaining a separate Excel file, your team manages absences directly inside Microsoft Teams—where collaboration already happens. Everyone works with the same up-to-date information, permissions are clearly defined, and absences can be synchronized with Outlook calendars for reliable planning.
If Excel is starting to feel cluttered or limiting, Team Absence helps you keep things clear, structured, and easy to manage—without leaving Microsoft Teams.
