The Visitor Management System in Excel VBA keeps the visitor log of a reception desk, front office or security desk in one macro-enabled Excel file. Visitors are checked in through a three-tab visitor check-in form, checked out with one click, and the Visitor Traffic, Host and Department and Security and Compliance dashboards plus a yearly Visit Summary build themselves. Visit hours and overstays are formulas, so they update the moment a visitor leaves.
Sample data for a demo company ships with 415 visits, 110 visitors, 26 hosts and 14 documents, so every chart is populated when you open it. Replace it with your own and the whole system follows. It is a visitor log in Excel VBA for Windows, with no cloud and no per-user fee, and Excel VBA visitor management without a database. If a visitor sign in sheet or a paper logbook can no longer tell you who is in the building, this is the step up.

🔑 Key Features of the Visitor Management System
📌 A check-in form that does the checking. The Visit form has three tabs: Visit, Check-In and Security. It uses drop-down lists, type-to-search and a pop-up calendar, fills the check-in time for you and refuses a blank required field or a typed date.
📌 One-click check out. Check Out Selected stamps the time, works out the visit hours and flags an overstay against the grace minutes you set.
📌 Pre-registration. Book a guest for a future date, then press Check In Selected when they arrive. The date and time are stamped and the visit moves to Checked In.
📌 Who is on site right now. Show Visitors On Site filters the log to everyone checked in and not yet out, the list a security desk needs in an emergency.
📌 Security details. Record the badge number, ID type, ID verified, NDA, safety briefing, escort, vehicle plate, parking spot and items declared on every visit.
📌 Visitor and Host registers. Each visitor has an access status of Approved, Watchlist or Banned, and each host shows the department, floor, extension and visits hosted.
📌 Three dashboards with slicers. Visitor Traffic, Host and Department, and Security and Compliance filter by year, status, registration type and reception desk, and a Visit Summary covers the report year by department and visitor type.
📌 Print a visitor pass. Print Visitor Pass gives each guest a pass in A4, 4 inch or 3 inch size.
📌 Documents on the visit. Attach signed NDAs, ID scans, insurance certificates and work permits to the visit, then open them from the Document Register.
📌 Everything is yours to edit. Departments, visitor types, purposes, reception desks and floors are master lists you extend from the Manage Dropdown Lists form, with no sheet editing and no broken drop-downs.

❓ Frequently Asked Questions
What is the Visitor Management System in Excel VBA?
It is one macro-enabled Excel file that runs the visitor log of a reception desk, front office or security desk: who came, who they visited, when they checked in and out, whether their ID was verified and whether they overstayed. Visits go in through a check-in form, and the dashboards update themselves.
How do I check a visitor in and out?
Choose New Walk-In Visit, fill the Visit, Check-In and Security tabs and save: the check-in time is filled in for you. When the visitor leaves, select the visit and press Check Out Selected. It stamps the time and works out the visit hours and any overstay.
Can I pre-register visitors?
Yes. Pre-Register a Visit books a guest for a future date. When the guest arrives, select the row on the Visit Log and press Check In Selected, which stamps the date and time and moves the visit to Checked In.
Can I see who is in the building right now?
Yes. Show Visitors On Site filters the Visit Log to every visit that is checked in and not yet checked out, which is the list you need in an emergency. Show All Visits clears the filter.
What security details does it record?
Badge number, ID type, ID verified, NDA signed, safety briefing, escort, vehicle plate, parking spot and items declared. The Visitor Register also holds an access status of Approved, Watchlist or Banned.
Can I print a visitor pass?
Yes. Print Visitor Pass produces a pass in A4, 4 inch or 3 inch size. Choose the paper size once on the Settings sheet and every printout follows it.
Which Excel do I need?
Microsoft Excel 2016 or later for Windows with macros enabled. It does not work on Mac, in Excel for the web or in Google Sheets, because the entry forms are VBA UserForms.
Can I try it before I buy?
Yes. A 7-day free trial is available from the product page. It is a separate file with every form, register and dashboard working, and it stops working after 7 days.
Is sample data included?
Yes. The file ships with 415 visits, 110 visitors, 26 hosts and 14 documents for a demo company, plus an illustrated PDF user manual, so every dashboard is populated when you open it.
