Connect Excel timesheets to WorkTracker

Upload .xlsx timesheets — rows become tracked time.

What you need

• Timesheets as .xlsx with the columns Date, Project, Hours, Description (ISO dates or real date cells).

Setup

1. Enable Excel and upload

   In Connections → Excel timesheets click “Upload .xlsx” and pick your file. Files land in your personal watch folder; re-uploading a corrected file updates the same rows.

2. Sync

   Run a sync — the rows appear as tracked time on their dates.

What WorkTracker collects

• Rows from uploaded .xlsx files as tracked time (date, project, hours, description).

Files stay on the WorkTracker server in your personal folder; malformed rows are logged and skipped. Credentials are stored encrypted (AES-256-GCM) and are never shown again or returned by the API.

Troubleshooting

Rows are skipped

Check the four columns are named Date, Project, Hours, Description and that dates are ISO strings (2026-07-06) or real Excel date cells.
