Formulas Required

The template includes several essential formulas to automate data processing:

Auto-Generated Item ID:
`=IFERROR("EQP-" & TEXT(ROW()-1,"000"), "")`
Placed in the first row of the Item ID column and copied down to generate EQP-001, EQP-002, etc.
Warranty Expiry Calculation:
`=EDATE([@[Purchase Date]], 36)`
Assumes a standard 3-year warranty. Adjust "36" if your warranty differs.
Current Value (Straight-Line Depreciation):
`=IF(OR([@[Status]]="Decommissioned", [@[Status]]="Lost/Stolen"), 0, MAX(0, [@[Purchase Cost ($)]]) - (YEAR(TODAY()) - YEAR([@[Purchase Date]]) * ([@[Purchase Cost ($)] / 3]))`
Assumes 3-year life cycle and straight-line depreciation.
Warranty Status Indicator:
`=IF([@[Warranty Expiry]] < TODAY(), "Expired", IF([@[Warranty Expiry]] <= DATE(YEAR(TODAY())+1,12,31), "Expiring Soon", "Active"))`

Conditional Formatting

To enhance data visibility and highlight important information:

Expired Warranty: Red background with white text (rule: `Warranty Expiry < TODAY()`)
Warranty Expiring in Next 6 Months: Orange fill with black text (rule: `Warranty Expiry <= TODAY()+180`)
Status - Decommissioned: Gray background with strikethrough font
