Formulas Required

The template includes several key formulas to automate data processing:

• Resolution Time (Days): =IF(OR(ISBLANK([@Date Completed]), ISBLANK([@Date Reported])), "", [@Date Completed] - [@Date Reported])
• Month & Year Extraction: =TEXT([@Date Reported], "MMM YYYY") – Used in the dashboard to group data by month.
• Status Indicator (for conditional formatting): Use a helper column: =IF([@Status]="Closed", "Resolved", IF(@Status="Open", "Open", ""))
• Count of Open Issues per Client: Used in the Client Overview sheet with: =COUNTIFS(MaintenanceLog[Client Name], [Client Name], MaintenanceLog[Status], "Open")
• Average Resolution Time: In Dashboard: =AVERAGEIF(MaintenanceLog[Status], "Closed", MaintenanceLog[Resolution Time (Days)])

Conditional Formatting Rules

• Overdue Tasks: Highlight any row where Status = Open and the current date exceeds 14 days from the reported date.
• Priority Levels: Color-code rows based on Priority: Critical (Red), High (Orange), Medium (Yellow), Low (Green).
• Status Indicators: Use icons to represent status: Red X for "Open", Green Check for "Closed", Yellow Triangle for "In Progress".
• Resolution Time Trends: Apply a gradient fill to the Resolution Time column, with red indicating high values (>7 days) and green for low (<2 days).
