Formulas Required

The template leverages advanced Excel formulas to enhance data integrity and automate insights:

INDEX-MATCH for Asset ID Lookup: Auto-populates "Asset Name" and "Location" based on selected Asset ID from the Maintenance Log.
DATEDIF Function: Calculates days between reported date and completion to track average resolution time.
COUNTIFS Formula: Counts unresolved issues by category or priority level in the Summary Dashboard.
IF & ISBLANK Logic: Ensures that "Date Completed" is only entered when status is "Resolved."
FILTER Function (Excel 365): Dynamically generates filtered views of overdue or high-priority items.

Conditional Formatting Rules

To improve visibility and urgency tracking, the following conditional formatting rules are applied:

Red Highlight: Any task with "Priority Level" = High and "Status" = Open. Alerts users to immediate risks.
Yellow Highlight: Tasks where "Date Assigned" is more than 3 days ago but still in progress.
Green Checkmark: When Status is "Resolved," the row turns green with a check icon (using icon sets).
Pending Review Alert: If "Follow-Up Required?" = Yes and no follow-up date has been entered, the row is highlighted in orange.
