Creating an Excel meeting room reservation schedule: seeing open and overlapping times with confirmed and cancelled records

With just the reservation list for each meeting room, it's difficult to find a time when both rooms are empty. While maintaining the reservation ledger, let's create a morning schedule that indicates reservation status for every 30-minute slot. We can see not only empty slots but also overlapping reservations for the same room. Here are 5 virtual reservations created with the help of AI. Calculations and time intervals were verified with Python, and this is not a case of running an actual Excel app or reservation service. “Empty” means that there are no confirmed reservations entered, but it does not confirm actual availability. 1. Input the daily reservation ledger Create sheets named “Reservation” and “Status”. In I1 of both sheets, type “Target Date”, and in I2, type “2026-11-12”. The example is for that day, 09:00-12:00 KST (UTC+09:00), and for Meeting Room A and Meeting Room B only.

The article provides a guide on creating a schedule to manage reservations for two meeting rooms, 회의실A and 회의실B, using Microsoft Excel. It outlines a step-by-step process to input reservation data, count confirmed reservations, and display a readable schedule. The schedule is for a specific date, 2026-11-12, and covers the morning period from 09:00 to 12:00 KST.

The guide also explains how to update the reservation log with cancellations and new reservations, and how to reuse the schedule for a different date. The example uses Python for calculations and does not reflect actual Excel app or reservation service usage.
