Formulas Required for Automation & Intelligence

• Next Due Date (in Equipment Maintenance Log): =IF(Maintenance_Frequency="Monthly", EDATE([Last Maintenance Date],1), IF(Maintenance_Frequency="Quarterly", EDATE([Last Maintenance Date],3), IF(Maintenance_Frequency="Semi-Annual", EDATE([Last Maintenance Date],6), IF(Maintenance_Frequency="Annual", DATE(YEAR([Last Maintenance Date])+1, MONTH([Last Maintenance Date]), DAY([Last Maintenance Date])), ""))))
• Status Indicator (Conditional Logic): =IF(TODAY()>[Next Due Date], "Overdue", IF(AND(TODAY()>=DATE(YEAR([Next Due Date])-1, MONTH([Next Due Date]), DAY([Next Due Date])), TODAY()<= [Next Due Date]), "Due Soon", "On Schedule"))
• Count of Overdue Items (Dashboard): =COUNTIF('Equipment Maintenance'!G:G, "Overdue") + COUNTIF('Facility Maintenance'!F:F, "Overdue") + COUNTIF('Software Maintenance'!F:F, "Overdue")

Conditional Formatting Rules

• Overdue Items (Red): If the Next Due Date is earlier than today.
• Due Soon (Orange): If the Next Due Date is within 7 days of today.
• On Schedule (Green): For items with due dates in the future and not near expiration.
• Status Highlighting: “Out of Service” appears in red; “Under Repair” in yellow; “Active” in green.
