Formulas Used in the Template
The template leverages Excel formulas to automate reporting, improve accuracy, and reduce manual effort:
- Next Maintenance Due (H3):
`=IF([@Status]="Out of Service", "", IF([@Status]="Decommissioned", "", [@Last Maintenance Date] + ([@Maintenance Interval] * 30.44)))` - Warranty Status:
`=IF(ISBLANK([@Warranty Expiry]), "No Warranty", IF([@Warranty Expiry] < TODAY(), "Expired", "Active"))` - Asset Age (Years):
`=ROUND((TODAY() - [@Purchase Date]) / 365.25, 1)` - Number of Assets by Status: Used in the dashboard to count active vs. inactive equipment.
- Due Alerts (Conditional Formatting Trigger): Formula used to flag assets due for maintenance within 30 days.

- Expired Warranty: Fill color: Red. Applies if `Warranty Expiry` is less than today’s date.
