    • Closing Balance (Number of Employees)
    • Turnover Percentage

    Your rows will be the names of each month.

    2. Enter your data

    Manually input the numbers for the “opening balance,” “employees In,” and “employees out” columns.

    3. Input formulas

    Calculate the closing balance by adding the opening balance and the employees who joined, then subtracting the number of employees who left.
