Asset List (Master) Table Structure:

| Column | Data Type | Description | |--------|-----------|-------------| | Asset ID (Unique) | Text/Number | A unique identifier (e.g., ASSET001) for each asset. | | Asset Name | Text | Descriptive name of the asset (e.g., "Laptop Dell XPS 13"). | | Category | Text/List Dropdown | Select from predefined categories: Electronics, Furniture, Tools, Software Licenses, etc. | | Location | Text/List Dropdown | Drop-down list of departmental locations (e.g., HR Office, Conference Room B). | | Assigned To | Text/Person Name | Name of the employee or team currently using the asset. | | Acquisition Date | Date | Date when the asset was purchased or acquired. | | Warranty Expiry | Date | End date of manufacturer warranty. | | Status (Current) | Text/List Dropdown (Active, Under Maintenance, Lost/Stolen, Decommissioned) | Current condition of the asset. |

Weekly Log Table Structure:

| Column | Data Type | Description | |--------|-----------|-------------| | Week Ending Date | Date (Auto-populated) | Automatically calculates the Friday of each week (e.g., 05/10/2024). | | Asset ID | Text/Number (linked to Master) | References the unique Asset ID. | | Action Type | Text/List Dropdown (Moved, Serviced, Updated Status, New Acquisition, Decommissioned) | Records what change occurred. | | From Location / Previous User | Text or blank | Where the asset was previously located or assigned. | | To Location / New User | Text or blank | Where the asset is now located or who it’s assigned to. | | Notes/Remarks | Text (up to 200 characters) | Additional context about the change. |

Formulas Required

Auto-populate Week Ending Date: In the Weekly Log, use =WORKDAY(TODAY(), -1*(WEEKDAY(TODAY())-6)) to automatically populate the Friday of the current week.
Lookup Asset Details: Use VLOOKUP() or XLOOKUP() in the Weekly Log to pull corresponding data (e.g., asset name, location) from the Master sheet based on Asset ID.
Status Count: In Status Summary, use COUNTIF(AssetList[Status], "Active") to count active assets.
Warranty Alerts: Use a formula like =IF((Warranty Expiry - TODAY()) <= 30, "Urgent: Warranty Expires Soon", IF((Warranty Expiry - TODAY()) <= 90, "Review Soon", "")) to flag upcoming expiration risks.
Change Tracker: Use =IF(AND(A2<>"", B2<>""), "Updated", "") in the Notes column to identify log entries that include changes.

Conditional Formatting Rules

Status Color Coding: Apply color scales to the Status column—green for "Active," yellow for "Under Maintenance," red for "Lost/Stolen."
Warranty Expiry Alerts: Highlight cells in the Warranty Expiry column with a red fill if the date is within 30 days.
Weekly Log Updates: Use icon sets (e.g., green checkmark, yellow exclamation) to show actions completed or pending.
Duplicate Asset IDs: Flag duplicate entries in the Master sheet using conditional formatting with a formula: =COUNTIF($A$2:$A$100, A2)>1.
