Formulas and Automation

The template leverages advanced Excel formulas to ensure data integrity and automatic calculations:

Auto-Entry ID: Uses the formula: =IF(ISBLANK(A2), "LOG-"&TEXT(MAX(INDIRECT("A2:A"&ROW()-1))+1,"000"), "") (Adjust based on actual column references)
Dynamic Dropdowns: Data validation lists pull values from the Asset Register and Technician List sheets.
Cost Summary: A formula in the dashboard sheet calculates total maintenance cost per asset using: =SUMIFS('Main Log'!$J:$J,'Main Log'!$C:$C,"Asset-001")
Days Since Last Maintenance: Calculates elapsed time between current date and last maintenance date using: =TODAY()-MAX(IF('Main Log'!$C:$C="Asset-001",'Main Log'!$B:$B))

Conditional Formatting Rules

To enhance data readability and highlight critical information:

Overdue Tasks: If maintenance is past due (based on schedule), cells turn red.
Frequent Failures: Assets with more than 3 corrective entries in the last 6 months are highlighted in yellow.
High Labor Costs: Tasks exceeding $500 in labor cost appear with a bold, red font.
Status Indicators: Status column uses color-coded labels (green for completed, red for overdue).
