How are meetings you accept /tentative that overlap meetings you excluded 'vacation' measured # %

[cody_martin]

When you exclude meetings called ‘vacation’ but you accept or mark tentative other meetings during the same hours how is that measured in meeting counts and meeting hours?

My understanding is despite overlapping with a meeting called 'vacation' the other ones will count towards meeting hours

Hi @cody_martin, when you exclude meetings by Topic you can exclude Vacation as a rule. These meetings that fit this topic will not be included in collaboration data. Walkthroughs for meeting exclusion rules | Microsoft Docs 

If you accept meetings that conflict with a meeting that is excluded it would basically be counted as a meeting with no conflicts because the excluded meeting is not counted as collaboration data.
