Sheet Names

• Asset Tracking Dashboard (Main): The central hub providing high-level summaries, key metrics, and quick-access filters for all assets.
• Asset Master List: A comprehensive table containing detailed asset records with full data fields.

Table Structures & Column Definitions

The core of this template is the Asset Master List (Sheet: Asset Master List), which uses a structured table format with clearly defined columns:

Formulas Required

This template leverages several built-in Excel formulas for automation and accuracy:

• Residual Value (Column M): =ROUND(Valor*(1-1/Depreciation_Yr), 2)
• Status Flag (Conditional Color Coding): Uses a helper column to flag high-priority items: =IF(AND(Status="In Repair", Warranty_Expiry-TODAY()<30), "Urgent", IF(Warranty_Expiry-TODAY()<90, "Near Expire", ""))
• Age (in Years): =DATEDIF(Purchase_Date, TODAY(), "Y")
• Total Active Assets per Client: In the Client Overview sheet: =COUNTIFS('Asset Master List'!B:B, A2, 'Asset Master List'!F:F, "Active")
• Warranty Expiry Countdown: =Warranty_Expiry-TODAY(), formatted as a number.

Conditional Formatting Rules

To enhance visual clarity and highlight key information, the template includes dynamic conditional formatting rules:

• Status Indicator Color: Red for "Lost/Stolen", Yellow for "In Repair", Green for "Active".
• Warranty Expiry Alert: If warranty expires within 90 days, cell background turns light orange. If within 30 days, it turns red.
• Asset Age Highlighting: Assets over 5 years old are highlighted in light gray to indicate potential upgrade needs.
• Residual Value Thresholds: If residual value drops below $200, the cell turns dark red (indicating low remaining value).
