Table Structure & Columns (Main Log Sheet)

The Main Log (Annual Maintenance) sheet is structured as a relational table optimized for annual tracking. It includes the following columns:

Formulas Required

The template leverages several powerful Excel formulas to automate tracking and improve usability:

• IF & AND Logic for Status Updates:
  =IF(CompletionDate<>"", "Completed", IF(Today()>DueDate, "Overdue", IF(Today()=DueDate, "Due Today", "In Progress")))
  This dynamic formula auto-updates status based on the current date.
• Lookup from Employee Directory:
  =VLOOKUP(EmployeeID, EmployeeDirectory!A:E, 2, FALSE)
  Automatically pulls full name and department from the central employee master list.
• Count Overdue Tasks by Department:
  =COUNTIFS(StatusRange, "Overdue", DepartmentRange, "Sales")
  Used in dashboards to highlight high-risk departments.
• Last Updated Timestamp:
  =IF(LEN(CompletionDate)>0, TODAY(), "") (Combined with conditional logic)

Conditional Formatting Rules

To improve visibility and reduce human error, the following formatting rules are applied:

• Overdue Tasks: Background color set to red with white text for immediate attention.
• Due Today: Yellow highlight with bold font.
• Completed Tasks: Light green background with checkmark icon (via Emoji or conditional formatting).
• Dates in the Past (Uncompleted): Grayed text to indicate missed deadlines.
