=IF(AND(MONTH(TODAY())=MONTH('Equipment Inventory'!F2), DAY(TODAY())<=DAY('Equipment Inventory'!F2)+7), "Reminder", "") - Overdue Returns List: Use FILTER() function to extract all rows where E2 (Expected Return) is before TODAY() and status ≠ "Returned".
Conditional Formatting Rules
- Warranty Expiry Warning: Highlight cells in column F if date is within next 30 days (use formula:
=AND(F2<=TODAY()+30, F2>TODAY())) with yellow fill. - Overdue Assignments: If assignment status is "Overdue" and expected return date has passed → red background.
- Available vs In Use: Green for "Available", Red for "In Use", Orange for "Under Repair".
