Design a volunteer hours tracker that is easy for people who are not spreadsheet users. Volunteers and roles: [VOLUNTEERS_AND_ROLES]. Activities: [ACTIVITIES]. Reporting needs for funders or members: [REPORTING_NEEDS]. Privacy requirements: [PRIVACY]. Give the column layout of three tabs (log, volunteers, summary). Formulas in words: total hours per volunteer is the sum of hours for that name; hours per activity is the sum by activity; hours per month use the date; active volunteers is the count of distinct names in the period. Add data validation for names and activities, a form for logging hours [VERIFY], a protected summary, and a simple chart. Worked sample of ten log rows and the summary: 14 volunteers contributing 126 hours is an average of 9 each. Add a monthly impact statement template with total hours, active volunteers and an estimated value of time, labelled as an estimate and explained: 126 hours at an assumed 15 is 1,890. Give instructions for volunteers and a monthly routine, and remind me about privacy. Do not assume what my version includes; ask, or mark [VERIFY].
