What this specific question is asking

Attendance Calculator applies one fixed relationship to your inputs. Your part of the work is the inputs: classes attended, total classes held and target attendance %, each checked for unit and period before entry. Everything else is arithmetic.

A fast validation: take the worked example (As a worked reference for “Attendance in excel formula”, Worked…), swap in your own classes attended, and confirm the result shifts in the direction the relationship predicts. If it moves the wrong way, recheck the units before the math.

Inputs to verify

Verify classes attended before calculation; if this value uses a different unit, period or definition, convert or restate it first.
Verify total classes held before calculation; if this value uses a different unit, period or definition, convert or restate it first.
Verify target attendance % before calculation; if this value uses a different unit, period or definition, convert or restate it first.

Step-by-step check

Enter the number of classes you have attended so far.
Enter the total number of classes held so far.
Enter the attendance percentage you need to reach.
Tap Calculate to see your current percentage and the classes to attend or skip.

Worked example and sanity check

As a worked reference for “Attendance in excel formula”, Worked example Attending 68 of 80 classes: 68 ÷ 80 × 100 = 85% .

Interpreting the result

Interpretation starts with magnitude. The worked example landed at 85%; compare yours before trusting the decimals. If the two disagree wildly, the setup — usually classes attended's unit or period — is the suspect. Read the magnitude before the decimals: a result ten times too large or small almost always means a unit or period slipped, not that the formula failed.
