Formulas and Automation
The template uses built-in Excel formulas to automate tracking and reduce manual errors:
- Next Maintenance Due (in Asset Tracking Sheet):
=IF(DATE(Acquired_Date, 1, 1)+Expected_Lifespan*365/2 > TODAY(), "Due: "&TEXT(DATE(Acquired_Date, 1, 1)+Expected_Lifespan*365/2,"MMM DD"), "Overdue") - Asset Status Indicator (Conditional Color):
Uses IF statements to flag assets due for maintenance or nearing end-of-life. - Count of Assets by Category (Dashboard):
=COUNTIF(Asset_Tracking!C:C, "Technology Devices")
Conditional Formatting
To enhance readability and highlight critical data:
- Assets with status “Under Repair” are highlighted in red.
- Items due for maintenance within 30 days are shown in yellow.
- Milestones within 14 days of their target date turn orange (using conditional formatting rule).
