    Hi everyone, thanks for all of your support on this idea.

    We've been following your comments and recognise that having a streamlined way to get timesheets from a spreadsheet into Xero Payroll would be a huge time saver.

    As noted by others in this thread, one option is to explore some of the connected time-tracking apps in the Xero App Store. While we know this isn't a perfect substitute for a direct import feature, it may help bridge the gap in the meantime.

    The good news is that we see the value this feature would provide and we want to explore it further. We'll change the status of this idea to Accepted.

    We appreciate your patience, we’ll provide any further updates right here.

    Our organisation relies on a third party GPS system for creating the data for each employees timesheet, then we have an Enterprise Agreement that enforces other minimum hour rules, so currently we export data from the GPS system integrate it with the EA rules in an excel spreadsheet with a lot of macros and VBA scripts, pretty it up and email directly out of excel via .pdf to each employee (well over 100).

    We are moving from MYOB to Xero and I was hoping that after the move we would be able to bring the data from the excel spreadsheet directly into timesheets in Xero so there was no human interference, less chance of mistakes. It would appear this is not the case and I would be back to the same as in MYOB manually entering the total number of hours for the fortnight. Am I right?

    I would support any plan to allow importing of excel spreadsheets into Xero payroll. This would assist us immensely.

    We have no ability to have employees us an mobile app at all ever.
