- Conditional Date Formatting: Highlight entries older than 7 days using =AND(Date"Idle")
- Status Color Coding: Use conditional formatting to color-code status cells (e.g., red for "Missing", amber for "Under Repair").
- Daily Count Formula: In Dashboard:
=COUNTIF(AssetLog!B:B, TODAY()) to count daily asset entries.
- Warranty Alert: Conditional formatting on Warranty Expiry column using =AND(WarrantyExpiry<=TODAY()+30, WarrantyExpiry>TODAY()) to highlight upcoming expiries.
CONDITIONAL FORMATTING RULES
- Status Column: Color-coding by status (e.g., green for In Use, red for Missing).
- Last Maintenance Date: Highlight in yellow if more than 6 months old.
- Date Column: Apply a gradient to show recency (newest dates in darkest color).
- Condition Check: Red text if "Poor", amber for "Fair".
