(Adjust based on annual or quarterly audits.) - Compliance Status (Auto):
=IF(ISBLANK([@Next Audit Due]), "N/A", IF(TODAY() > [@Next Audit Due], "Overdue", IF(TODAY() >= [@Next Audit Due] - 30, "Pending", "Compliant"))) - Days Until Next Due:
=IF([@Next Audit Due]="", "", [@Next Audit Due]-TODAY()) - Maintenance Reminder:
=IF(AND(ISBLANK([@Last Maintenance Date]), [@Maintenance Cycle]>0), "No Service Record", IF(ISBLANK([@Last Maintenance Date]), "", IF(TODAY() > [@Last Maintenance Date] + ([@Maintenance Cycle]*30), "Overdue", "On Schedule")))
Conditional Formatting Rules
- Overdue Items: Apply red fill and bold text if
TODAY() > [Next Audit Due]. - Pending (Due in 30 Days): Yellow background for items due within the next month.
