For example, if I start working on the rig on 17-Jan-24, I select the 17 January 2024.
4. Select work schedule. Each number means time on and time off. For example, 7 means work 7 days and off 7 days.
For this example, I click 28, meaning 28 days on / 28 days off.
5. Your work schedule is ready. The green cell is when you start your time on and the red cell is end of your hitch. Moreover, the blue-shaded cells are your time on and the white cells are your time off.
Note: this sheet works only for even time on and time off. You cannot use it if your schedule is not even. For instant, if your work schedule is 4 week on and 2 week off, you will not be able to use it.

Rotational Planner Sheet for Oilfield Personnel Opens and allows me to enable editing but then the dialog box pops up stating the spreadsheet is protected and I must provide a password to un-protect it for editing. Can anyone provide the password?
You need to contact the owener of this sheet to unlock it. We don’t have any authority to do it.
Craig,
You do not need the password to unlock it, just right click on the Rotational sheet and select “properties” then Click “unblock” on the General Tab. Then click Apply.
That will open up the sheet for future use.
Just wanted to say thanks for posting this, I have been rotating to many many years and use to have something similar but lost it last year.
cheers
BUck
Is there any way to get in touch with this PeteHuff fellow, who is the owner of the sheet? I’d like to talk to him about the calendar.
