Next Compliance Due Calculation (Cell E4): =IF(ISBLANK(D4), "", IF(F3="Daily", D4+1, IF(F3="Weekly", D4+7, IF(F3="Monthly", D4+30, IF(F3="Quarterly", D4+90, IF(F3="Annually", D4+365,""))))))

Days Until Due (Cell G4): =E4-TODAY()

Unique Item ID Generator (Cell A4): =CONCATENATE("INV", TEXT(ROW()-3,"000")) — auto-increments based on row number.

CUSTOM CONDITIONAL FORMATTING

The template uses conditional formatting to visually highlight compliance risks:

Green Highlight: Items with Status = "In Compliance"

Pink Gradient Fill: Criticality Level set to "Critical" (for immediate attention)
