Formulas Required

// In Sheet 1: Next Due Maintenance
=IF(OR(ISBLANK([@Purchase Date]), ISBLANK([@Maintenance Interval])), "", 
   DATE(YEAR([@Purchase Date]) + (DATEDIF([@Purchase Date], TODAY(), "y") + 
   INT((DATEDIF([@Purchase Date], TODAY(), "md") / 365.25) > 0)), 
   MONTH([@Purchase Date]), DAY([@Purchase Date])))

// Or use simpler: =EDATE([@Last Maintenance Date], [@[Maintenance Interval (months)]])

// Conditional Formatting Rule for Status Column:
- Red: "Lost"
- Orange: "In Repair"
- Green: "Active"
- Gray: "Retired"

// Highlight assets due in next 30 days using:
=AND([@Status] <> "Retired", [@Next Due Maintenance] < TODAY() + 30, 
     [@Next Due Maintenance] > TODAY())

Conditional Formatting Guidelines

• Status Column: Color-coded with Red (Lost), Orange (In Repair), Green (Active), Gray (Retired)
• Warranty Expiry: Highlight in red if within 30 days of expiration
• Next Due Maintenance: Yellow highlight for upcoming deadlines within 7 days, light orange for 8–30 days
• Duplicate Asset IDs: Use "Highlight Cells Rules" > "Duplicate Values" to avoid data entry errors
