Table Structure & Columns (Equipment Inventory Sheet)

The primary data table in the "Equipment Inventory" sheet is structured to capture all essential details about each piece of equipment. The table spans columns A through I, with headers starting at row 1.

Column Header Data Type Description

A Asset ID (Auto) Numeric (Auto-generated) Unique identifier assigned automatically via formula.

B Equipment Type List/Text e.g., Laptop, Printer, Monitor, Phone, Projector.

C Manufacturer & Model Text e.g., Dell Latitude 5420.

D Serial Number (SN) Text (Unique) Manufacturer-provided serial number for traceability.

E Date Acquired Date Date the equipment was purchased or received.

F Status: In Use (assigned), Idle (available), Under Maintenance, Lost/Stolen, Decommissioned.

G Assigned To Contact Name / Employee ID Name of the employee currently using the equipment.

Last Maintenance Date

Date (Optional) d, 2023.

Formulas Required

The template leverages several formulas to enhance automation and accuracy:

Auto-generated Asset ID: =IF(A2="", ROW()-1, A2) (applied in column A for new entries).
Status Color Coding: Conditional formatting uses formulas like =E2="Under Maintenance".
Aging Calculation: In column I: =DAYS(TODAY(), E2) to show days since acquisition.
Duplicate Serial Number Check: Formula in a helper column: =IF(COUNTIF(D:D, D2)>1, "Duplicate", "").
Status Summary (Dashboard): In the Status Dashboard sheet: =COUNTIFS(Inventory!F:F, "In Use").

Conditional Formatting Rules

To improve visual tracking, apply these rules:

Overdue Maintenance: If Last Maintenance Date + 365 days < Today(), highlight the row in red.
Status Indicator: Color-code rows by status: Green (In Use), Yellow (Idle), Orange (Under Maintenance), Red (Lost/Stolen).
Age Alert: If an asset is over 5 years old, apply a light gray background to its row.

User Instructions
