Table Structures and Columns (Equipment Inventory Sheet)

The main data table on the "Equipment Inventory" sheet is designed to store comprehensive equipment details with support for multi-client tracking. The table spans from cell A1 to I1000, with headers in row 1.

Formulas Required

The template uses several dynamic formulas to enhance functionality and reduce manual input:

• Auto-increment Equipment ID: In cell A2, use:

  =IF(B2="", "", "EQ" & TEXT(ROW()-1,"000"))

  This generates IDs like EQ001, EQ002, etc.

  =IF(F2

  =ROUND((TODAY()-E2)/365,1)

  Displays equipment age in years.
• Total Count by Client: Used on the Dashboard sheet via SUMIFS.

Conditional Formatting

To improve visual clarity and identify critical items at a glance:

• Warranty Status Highlighting: Conditional formatting applied to column F (Warranty Expiry Date) with rules:
  • If date is within 30 days: red fill
  • If date is expired: dark red fill
  • If date is more than 1 year away: green fill
• Status Color Coding: Column G (Status):
  • Active → Green
  • In Maintenance → Yellow
  • Decommissioned/Expired → Gray
• Last Maintenance Warning: Highlight rows where H (Last Maintenance Date) is older than 1 year with orange background.
