Put the student names in A2 down.

Put the dates in D1:xx1 (however many you want up to 253)

In D2:xx down enter A for absence, L for tardiness.

In B2 use =COUNTIF(D2:IV2,"A")
In C2 use =COUNTIF(D2:IV2,"L")

and copy these down.

How do I set up an attendance record that calculates absences and tardies?

continuous calculation would also be helpful
