+Wenn im Excel-Sheet für einen Tag `P` steht, bleibt der Status im PDF `P`, aber die Stundenfelder werden mit 6 Stunden befüllt:
+
+| Feld | Wert |
+|---|---|
+| `anwesend.N` | `P` |
+| `ist.N` | `6,00` |
+| `plan.N` | `6` |

+`P = Praktikum` wird damit wie ein regulärer Anwesenheitstag mit 6 Stunden abgerechnet und zählt auch für die 5-Euro-Pauschale.
