Next Maintenance Due: =IF(ISBLANK([@Last_Maintenance_Date]), "", [@Last_Maintenance_Date] + 90)
Status Color Indicator (for Dashboard): Conditional formatting using formulas to highlight status.
Total Rental Cost: In the Dashboard, use =SUMIF(Asset_Inventory[Event Assigned To], [Event Name], Asset_Inventory[Rental Cost per Day]) * [Duration in Days]

Status Column: Red text for "Lost/Damaged", yellow for "Maintenance Needed", green for "Available", and blue for "In Use".
Next Maintenance Due: Highlight cells in red if the date is within 7 days; yellow if between 8–14 days.
Rental Cost per Day: Gradient fill based on cost level (high, medium, low).
Event Assigned To: Use color-coded tags or icons for different event types (e.g., blue for corporate events, green for internal meetings).
