Formulas and Automation
Key formulas are integrated to minimize manual entry errors:- Auto-generated Equipment ID:
=TEXT(TODAY(),"YYYY") & "-EQP-" & TEXT(ROW()-1,"000") - Warranty Expiry:
=DATE(YEAR(Purchase_Date)+3, MONTH(Purchase_Date), DAY(Purchase_Date)) - Next Maintenance Due:
=IF(ISBLANK(Last_Maintenance), DATE(YEAR(TODAY()),MONTH(TODAY())+6,DAY(TODAY())), DATE(YEAR(Last_Maintenance)+0, MONTH(Last_Maintenance)+6, DAY(Last_Maintenance))) - Status Alert (Conditional Formatting): Flags entries where warranty expires in ≤ 30 days.
- Asset Age:
=DATEDIF(Purchase_Date,TODAY(),"Y") & " years"
Conditional Formatting Rules
- **Red Highlight:** Equipment with Warranty Expiry within 30 days. - **Orange Highlight:** Equipment older than 5 years with no maintenance in over 1 year. - **Green Highlight:** Active equipment assigned to users (Status = “In Use”). - **Gray Text:** Decommissioned or retired assets (Status = “Decommissioned”). These rules help administrators quickly identify high-priority items without scanning entire lists.User Instructions
1. Do not delete or rename columns. The formulas and charts depend on exact column names. 2. Use only the dropdown menus for categorical fields to maintain data integrity. 3. Enter Purchase Date and Cost in the correct format (YYYY-MM-DD). 4. Update the Maintenance Log sheet when servicing equipment; this will auto-update Last Maintenance Date and Next Due Date. 5. For bulk imports, use Excel’s "Text to Columns" tool if data comes from CSV or database exports. 6. Always back up the file before sharing or editing extensively.Example Rows (Equipment Master List)
