Formulas Required
The template leverages Excel formulas to automate calculations and maintain real-time accuracy:=SUMIF(AssetInventory[Type], "Financial", AssetInventory[Value (USD)])→ Total financial assets.=COUNTIFS(AssetInventory[Status], "Active")→ Counts currently active assets.=IF(TODAY() > [Due Date/Expiry], "Overdue", IF([Due Date/Expiry] - TODAY() <= 7, "Urgent", "On Track"))→ Status alert logic.=SUM(AssetInventory[Value (USD)])→ Total asset value across all entries.=COUNTIFS(AssetInventory[Category], "Tuition Fees")→ Category-specific counts for dashboard filtering.
Conditional Formatting Rules
Enhances readability and enables instant pattern recognition:- Due Date Highlighting: Cells in the "Due Date/Expiry" column turn red if the date is within 7 days of today, yellow if within 14 days.
- Status Color Coding: "Active" = green; "Reserved" = blue; "Completed/Used Up" = gray; "Overdue" = red.
