Formulas and Calculations
The template leverages Excel formulas to automate critical tracking functions:
- Asset ID Auto-Generation:
=TEXT(TODAY(),"YYYY")&"-000"&COUNTA(AssetRegister[Asset ID])+1 - Maintenance Due Date:
=IF([@Status]="In Use", DATE(YEAR([@Last Maintenance Date]), MONTH([@Last Maintenance Date])+12, DAY([@Last Maintenance Date])), "") - Status Reminder (Color Indicator): Formula-based conditional formatting to highlight assets due for maintenance.
- Asset Age:
=DATEDIF([@Purchase Date],TODAY(),"Y") & " years" - Remaining Depreciation Years:
=MAX(0, [@Depreciation Period] - DATEDIF([@Purchase Date],TODAY(),"Y"))
Conditional Formatting Rules
To enhance visual tracking for administrative support staff, the following conditional formatting rules are applied:
- Overdue Maintenance: Highlight rows in red if "Maintenance Due Date" is earlier than today.
- Status Colors: Color-code cells based on status: Green ("In Use"), Gray ("In Storage"), Orange ("Under Repair"), Red ("Decommissioned").
- Depreciation Alert: Apply yellow background to assets in their final year of depreciation.
- Missing Custodian: Highlight rows where "Custodian" is blank to identify unassigned assets.
