A	Asset ID	Text (Auto-incremented)	Unique identifier for each asset (e.g., HT-001, TOOLS-23). Auto-generated via formula.
B	Asset Name	Text (Required)	Name of the asset (e.g., "Lawn Mower," "Sony TV 55-inch"). Essential for quick identification.
C	Type	List (Dropdown)	Category: Electronics, Furniture, Tools, Appliances, Clothing, Books, Artifacts. Dropdown list ensures consistency in classification.

Formulas Required

Auto-Increment Asset ID: In cell A2: =IF(B2="","",CONCATENATE("HT-",TEXT(COUNTA($B$2:B2),"000"))). This creates a unique ID based on sequential entry.
Age Calculation: In a new column (I), use: =DATEDIF(D2,TODAY(),"Y") to compute asset age in years.
Total Value by Category: Use SUMIFS in the dashboard to sum costs by "Type" and "Status". Example: =SUMIFS(E:E,C:C,"Electronics",F:F,"In Use").
Last Maintenance Alert: Conditional formatting rule triggers warning if G2 is older than 6 months from today.
