FORMULAS REQUIRED

The template uses dynamic formulas to ensure real-time accuracy and reduce manual input errors:

• Auto-generate Asset ID: =CONCATENATE("AS-", TEXT(COUNTA(A:A)+1,"000"))
• Next Maintenance Due: =IF(ISBLANK([@Last Maintenance Date]), "", [@[Last Maintenance Date]] + 180)

• Last Maintenance Date (in Assets List): =MAXIFS(MaintenanceLog[Date of Service], MaintenanceLog[Asset ID], [@Asset ID])
• Count Assets by Status: Use in Dashboard: =COUNTIF(AssetsList[Status], "In Use")
