Table Structures and Columns

Formulas Required

The template leverages Excel formulas to automate critical calculations and improve data accuracy. Key formulas include:

=IFERROR(DATE(YEAR([@Purchase Date])+[@[Depreciation Period (Years)]],MONTH([@Purchase Date]),DAY([@Purchase Date])), "N/A")
// Calculates Warranty Expiry date by adding 1 year to Purchase Date (customizable)

=IF(OR(@Status="Decommissioned", @Status="Lost/Stolen"), 0, 
    ([@Cost] - ([@Cost]/[@[Depreciation Period (Years)]] * 
    DATEDIF([@Purchase Date], TODAY(), "D") / 365)))
// Calculates Current Value using straight-line depreciation formula

=COUNTIFS(Status, "Active") + COUNTIFS(Status, "In Use")
// Used on the Dashboard to count active assets

These formulas ensure real-time data consistency and reduce manual errors—essential in administrative support environments where accuracy is paramount.
