Formulas and Automation
- Auto-generated IDs: Using
=TEXT(TODAY(), "yyyymmdd")&COUNTA(A:A)+1 for sequential, date-based unique identifiers.
- Status tracking: Conditional logic using
=IF(WarrantyExpiry.
- Assignment validation: Data validation prevents assigning already-in-use equipment using a formula like
=COUNTIFS(AssignmentLog[Asset ID], EQ-87456, AssignmentLog[Date Returned], "")=0.
- Total assets per department:
=SUMIFS(EquipmentInventory[Status], EquipmentInventory[Department], "IT Department").
Conditional Formatting Rules
- Highlight expired warranties in red (
< WarrantyExpiry AND WarrantyExpiry)
- Color-code equipment status: Green for "Available", Yellow for "Under Repair", Red for "Decommissioned"
- Flag overdue return assignments (if Date Returned is blank and assigned > 30 days ago)
