Formulas and Automation
This template uses several Excel formulas to automate tracking:- Status Calculation: Uses
=IF(TODAY() > [Scheduled Date], "Overdue", IF([Date Performed] <> "", "Completed", "Scheduled"))to auto-update task status. - Compliance Flag: A conditional formula checks if compliance tasks are overdue:
=IF(AND([Compliance Status]="Non-Compliant", [Scheduled Date] <= TODAY()), "URGENT - COMPLIANCE RISK", ""). - Next Due Calculation: Based on frequency, e.g., for "Annually":
=DATE(YEAR([Scheduled Date]) + 1, MONTH([Scheduled Date]), DAY([Scheduled Date])). - Count of Overdue Tasks: On the Dashboard sheet:
=COUNTIF(MaintenanceLog!F:F, "Overdue") - Compliance Rate:
=COUNTIF(ComplianceTracker!H:H, "Compliant") / COUNTA(ComplianceTracker!H:H), formatted as percentage.
Conditional Formatting
To enhance visual management:- Overdue Tasks: Red background with white text in the Status column.
- Tasks Due in 7 Days: Yellow highlight to indicate immediate attention.
- Scheduled Tasks: Light blue fill for future items.
- Pending Compliance Items: Orange border and bold font in the Compliance Status column.
