Table Structures and Columns (Equipment Inventory Master)

The main data source resides in the "Equipment Inventory Master" sheet, structured as a formal Excel Table (using Ctrl+T), enabling dynamic updates. The table includes the following columns:

Formulas Required

• =IF(WarrantyExpiry < TODAY(), "Expired", IF(WarrantyExpiry < TODAY()+90, "Expires Soon", "Valid")) – This formula in the “Warranty Status” column dynamically updates based on the current date.
• =IF(STATUS = "In Use", 1, 0) – Used in dashboards to count active equipment items per client.
• =DATEDIF(PurchaseDate, TODAY(), "Y") – Calculates the age of equipment in years.
• =COUNTIFS(ClientNameRange, ClientName, StatusRange, "In Use") – Used in the client report sheet to count active devices per client.
• =SUMIFS(PriceColumn, StatusColumn, "In Use") – Summarizes total value of equipment currently in use (if a "Value" column is added).

Conditional Formatting

The template uses advanced conditional formatting to improve data visibility and identify critical statuses:

• Warranty Expiry: Red text if expired; yellow if due within 90 days.
• Status Column: Green for “In Use”, amber for “Under Maintenance”, red for “Decommissioned”.
• Last Service Date: Highlights entries older than 12 months in red to flag overdue maintenance.
• Purchase Date: Background color gradient based on age (e.g., green for <2 years, yellow for 2-5 years, red for >5 years).
