Table Structures & Columns (Equipment Inventory Sheet)
The primary sheet, Equipment Inventory, uses a structured Excel Table (Ctrl+T) to ensure dynamic filtering and formula integration. The table is named "tblEquipment". Below are the columns:
| Column Name | Data Type | Description & Format |
|---|---|---|
| Equipment ID (Auto) | Text (Auto-generated) | Unique identifier in format EQR-YYYY-MM-001. Automatically assigned using a formula based on year, month, and sequence. |
| Equipment Name | Text (Max 50 characters) | Name of the equipment (e.g., "Fire Extinguisher Model X-200") |
| Category | Dropdown List | Options: Safety, HVAC, Electrical, Medical, IT Hardware, Machinery. Ensures consistency across entries. |
| Location | Text (Dropdown) | List of predefined locations (e.g., "Warehouse A", "Lab 3", "Main Office"). Reduces data entry errors. |
| Status | Dropdown | Options: Active, In Maintenance, Out of Service, Decommissioned. Reflects current operational state. |
| Last Inspection Date | Date (mm/dd/yyyy) | Most recent compliance inspection date. |
| Next Due Date | Date (mm/dd/yyyy) | Dynamically calculated as 30 days after last inspection for monthly checks, or 1 year for annual inspections. |
| Compliance Status | Text (Formula-driven) | Shows "On Track" (if next due date is more than 30 days away), "Overdue" (if past due), or "Urgent" (within 7 days). |
| Certification Expiry | Date (mm/dd/yyyy) | When the equipment’s safety or regulatory certification expires. |
| Maintenance Type | Dropdown | Options: Preventive, Corrective, Emergency. Helps categorize maintenance tasks. |
| Assigned Technician | Text (Dropdown) | List of team members for accountability. |
Formulas Required
- Equipment ID Auto-Generation:
=CONCATENATE("EQR-", TEXT(TODAY(),"YYYY"), "-", TEXT(TODAY(),"MM"), "-", TEXT(COUNTIF(A:A, "EQR-"&TEXT(TODAY(),"YYYY")&"-"&TEXT(TODAY(),"MM")&"*")+1,"000"))
This formula generates unique IDs based on date and sequence. - Next Due Date:
=IF(E2="Monthly", E2+30, IF(E2="Annual", E2+365, "N/A"))
Where column E contains the maintenance frequency (e.g., "Monthly"). - Compliance Status:
=IF(ISBLANK([@Next Due Date]), "Pending", IF([@Next Due Date] < TODAY(), "Overdue", IF([@Next Due Date] - TODAY() <= 7, "Urgent", "On Track")))
Conditional Formatting
To enhance visual management and compliance tracking:
- Overdue Equipment: Red fill with black text for any row where Compliance Status = Overdue.
- Urgent (7 Days or Less): Orange fill to highlight equipment due within one week.
- Certification Expiry: Light yellow background if certification expires in the next 30 days.
- Last Inspection Date: Green cell for entries completed within the last 7 days (newly inspected).
