I developed an Excel-based library attendance system using VBA (Visual Basic for Applications). In this system, students visiting the library can input their details to check in, and all the information is recorded in an Excel spreadsheet. When students check out, they simply enter their index number, and the time of checkout is recorded. The librarian can conclude the attendance by entering a command to end the session. This action generates a new sheet and renames the previous sheet with the date when the session ended. I implemented various validations to ensure accurate user input.
