Formula: =DATE(YEAR(A2), MONTH(A2)+12, DAY(A2))
Automatically calculated based on the frequency (annual inspection assumed). Can be adjusted manually.
Compliance Status Status (Text: "On Time", "Overdue", "Due Soon")
Formula: =IF(TODAY() > [Next Due Date], "Overdue", IF(TODAY() >= DATE(YEAR([Next Due Date])-1, MONTH([Next Due Date]), DAY([Next Due Date])), "Due Soon", "On Time"))

Formulas and Automation

The following formulas are built into the template to support accurate and automated tracking:

  • Next Due Date Formula: Based on Last Inspection Date + 1 year (or half-year for biannual, quarter for quarterly).
  • Compliance Status Formula: Dynamically assesses if an item is overdue, due soon, or on time.
  • Count Formulas: Use COUNTIF functions in the Dashboard to count items by status (e.g., =COUNTIF(ComplianceStatusRange,"Overdue")).

Conditional Formatting Rules

To enhance visual clarity, the template applies conditional formatting rules:

  • Overdue Items: Red background with white text.
  • Due Soon (within 30 days): Yellow background.
  • On Time: Green background.
  • Last Inspection Date: Highlights cells older than 6 months in light orange to prompt review.

Sheet 2: Compliance Calendar – Visual Timeline

This sheet displays upcoming compliance due dates in a monthly calendar format. It uses the data from the main table to list all items with due dates, organized by month and week. This helps teams plan inspections efficiently.

Sheet 3: Dashboard Summary – Key Metrics at a Glance

The dashboard presents vital information using simple charts:

  • Compliance Status Pie Chart: Shows percentage of items that are "On Time", "Due Soon", and "Overdue".
  • Compliance by Category Bar Chart: Visualizes how many compliance checks are pending per category (e.g., Safety Equipment vs. Electronics).
  • Upcoming Due Dates Table: Lists the next 10 items due, including Item Name, Location, and Next Due Date.
