I need a single Microsoft Excel workbook that lets me keep on top of every child in my day-nursery, from the day they join us to the day they leave for school. Within it I have to be able to record each child’s name, current age, entry date, projected school-leaving date and their room assignment. As ages change the file should automatically forecast when a child is due to move up to the next room, reserve a place for them there and then show me—at a glance—how many real spaces are still free in every room once those moves are taken into account. Because staffing and marketing decisions rely on this data, the occupancy figures and room-move projections need to refresh accurately every day; a TODAY-based formula or a simple macro that recalculates on opening is fine as long as it stays inside Excel. A clear, printable dashboard that highlights looming over-capacity or unused places would be ideal, but the core priority is rock-solid underlying formulas I can trust. Additionally, it would be helpful to include a feature allowing hypothetical children of different ages to be added temporarily for scenario planning. This feature should allow us to see how accepting one child over another would impact future occupancy without altering our actual data. Deliverables • Fully-functional Excel workbook with protected formulas and an unlocked data-entry sheet • Dynamic dashboard (tables or charts) showing current headcount, upcoming moves and available spaces per room • Brief, plain-English user guide mapping where I input data and how the automatic calculations work I will test by entering sample children across all age brackets; the file must instantly update ages, room moves and free-space counts without manual intervention.

Hi, This is Jorge from IT GLOBAL SOLUTION LLC in FL, United States. I’ve built similar Excel-based operational trackers focused on reliable “as-of-today” calculations, with VBA-driven refresh and clean, locked formula logic. Your concept is clear and practical. I’ll deliver a single .xlsx workbook using structured Excel Tables: one for the child roster and one for room capacity and rules. The data entry sheet will be unlocked for entering Name, Entry Date, Birthdate (or current age, per your preference), and Room. All forecasting and occupancy math will be protected. Ages will be calculated from TODAY() and/or birthdate, then mapped to move thresholds to compute a projected “next move date” and the effective room for each future day. To keep free-space counts accurate, I’ll pre-calculate, per room, the count occupying that room on TODAY(), plus a second view that simulates transfers on move dates to produce “spaces available after moves.” For the dashboard, I’ll use pivot-style summaries, conditional formatting, and charts (headcount vs capacity, looming over-capacity alerts, and unused places). I’ll add a small VBA macro with Workbook_Open/Worksheet_Change hooks so opening the file or entering a child refreshes key sheets and tables. I’ll include a short plain-English guide and keep formulas auditable using named ranges. I’ll also provide maintainable VBA with Git-ready export support and documentation so your team can extend room rules later.
