Free timesheet template for Excel and Google Sheets
A plain CSV with one row for each piece of work. Fill it in a spreadsheet, and if you move to Time Tracker later, the same file imports with nothing to rearrange.

Download the template
Both files open in Excel, Google Sheets and Numbers. The example is a week of work for two clients, with times written in each of the ways the template accepts. Delete its rows and keep the header to start your own.
What goes in each column
Only Date is required. Give each row either a start and end time or a duration.
| Column | How to fill it in |
|---|---|
| Date | 2026-11-02 or 02/11/2026. If every date in the file could be read either way, the import asks which order you meant. |
| Start Time and End Time | 09:00, 17:30 or 5:30 PM. Leave both blank if you fill in Duration. |
| Duration | 7:30, 7.5 or 7h 30m all mean seven and a half hours. Leave it blank to work it out from the start and end. |
| Person and Email | Who did the work. Leave both blank on your own timesheet. |
| Client and Project | Who the work was for and what it was part of. |
| Task | The kind of work, such as Design, Meetings or Admin. |
| Notes | What was done, in a few words. Notes can go on the invoice later. |
| Billable | Yes or No. |
Save the file as CSV when you're done. Excel may offer another format first.
Importing it into Time Tracker
-
Create a free account
Time Tracker is switched on and pinned in your Raq.com sidebar.
-
Open Settings, Import time
Account owners and admins can upload the CSV there.
-
Check the preview
People are matched by email, then by name. Projects and tasks are matched or created. Rows it will leave out are listed with the reason.
-
Import, or undo it
An import can be undone from its menu until any of its time is invoiced, locked or submitted.
When a spreadsheet stops working
A shared spreadsheet has no timer, no approval step and nothing to stop someone changing last month's hours. In Time Tracker people run a timer or type hours into their week, submit it, and once it's approved they can no longer change it.
Approved hours turn into invoice drafts at the rates you set, so the timesheet and the invoice come from the same entries.
Questions about the timesheet template
Do I need to sign up to download it?
No. Both files download straight from this page.
Can I import a Toggl, Clockify or Harvest export instead?
Yes. Time Tracker recognises their detailed exports, as well as any other CSV with a date column.
What happens to the rates in my file?
Time Tracker uses the rates you set for each person, project and activity, so rates in an imported file are ignored.
