Is it possible to create a leave planner shared on a local network?

Unfortunately it's bad news

My employer has said I can't even use Access - It's only Excel or Google sheets.

Probably saved you a lot of hard work though.

TBH I see nothing wrong with a leave request and it being entered by the team manager and the sheet being read only for everyone else.

When I was looking for a leave planner, I think most were based on Excel, but they all cost something.

Unfortunately, the technically oriented solution almost never works for non-technical reasons - such as in this case the boss deciding on not only the goal but also the tools you must use. The real world intrudes yet again.

On the other hand, for a seven-person department, Excel is not THAT hard to share that many ways.
