Required Formulas

The template includes several dynamic formulas to automate data processing and ensure accuracy:

Item ID Generation:
=CONCAT("INV-", TEXT(ROW()-1,"000"))
This formula automatically generates unique Item IDs for each new row (e.g., INV-001, INV-002).
Current Value Calculation:
=MAX(Original Cost * (1 - 0.15*(TODAY()-Purchase Date)/365), 5)
Applies a standard 15% annual depreciation with a floor of £5, ensuring realistic asset valuations.
Age Calculation:

Calculates the age of each item in years.
Total Inventory Value:
On the Dashboard sheet:
=SUM('Inventory Master List'!F:F) — sums all Current Values.

Conditional Formatting Rules

To enhance readability and highlight important information, the following conditional formatting rules are pre-configured:

Low Value Items: If Current Value is less than £50, cells turn light red.
High-Value Items (Over £1000): Background color is yellow with bold text.
Purchase Date Over 5 Years Ago: Highlights in orange to indicate items requiring potential replacement or review.
Condition = Poor: Red font and background to flag items needing repair or disposal.
