Formulas Required
- **Auto-Generated Item ID:** `=TEXT(TODAY(),"yyyymmdd") & "-" & COUNTA(A:A)+1` Ensures uniqueness and traceability. - **Next Audit Due (3-month cycle):** `=DATE(YEAR([Last Audit Date]), MONTH([Last Audit Date])+3, DAY([Last Audit Date]))` Automatically updates audit deadlines. - **Compliance Risk Level Logic:** ```excel =IF(OR(ISBLANK([Expiration Date]), [Expiration Date] > TODAY()+90), "Low", IF(AND([Expiration Date] <= TODAY()+30, [Expiration Date] > TODAY()), "High", IF([Next Audit Due] <= TODAY(), "High", IF([Next Audit Due] <= TODAY()+14, "Medium", "Low")))) ``` - **Compliance Status Conditional:** Uses `IF` logic to auto-update status based on risk and audit deadlines.Conditional Formatting
- **Expiration Date (within 30 days):** Rule: `=AND([Expiration Date] >= TODAY(), [Expiration Date] <= TODAY()+30)` → Yellow fill. - **Expiring Today:** Rule: `=[Expiration Date]=TODAY()` → Red text and bold. - **Next Audit Due in ≤ 7 Days:** Rule: `=[Next Audit Due] <= TODAY()+7` → Orange background with red border. - **Compliance Risk Level Color Coding:** - Low (Green): `="Low"` - Medium (Yellow): `="Medium"` - High (Red): `="High"`User Instructions
