- Next Service Due: =IF([@LastServiceDate]="", "", [@LastServiceDate]+365)
- Lifecycle Stage:
=IF(AND([@PurchaseDate]>=DATE(YEAR(TODAY())-1,MONTH(TODAY()),DAY(TODAY())),[@AssetStatus]="Active"), "New", IF(AND([@WarrantyExpiryDate]<=TODAY()+90,[@AssetStatus]="Active"), "Near End-of-Life", IF(AND([@WarrantyExpiryDate]<=TODAY(),[@AssetStatus]="Active"), "End-of-Life", [@AssetStatus]))) - Age of Asset: =DATEDIF([@PurchaseDate],TODAY(),"y")
