Status Dashboard
Dynamic overview with summary statistics and color-coded statuses. | Metric | Formula/Calculation | |--------|---------------------| | Total Assets Tracked | =COUNTA('Assets Master List'!A:A) - 1 | | Assets Currently On Site | =COUNTIFS('Assets Master List'!K:K, "On Site") | | Damaged/Unusable Assets | =COUNTIFS('Assets Master List'!J:J, "<5") | | Overdue Check-ins (past due date) | =COUNTIFS('Inventory Log'!F:F, "<"&TODAY(), 'Inventory Log'!H:H, "Checked Out") |Formulas Required
The template leverages advanced Excel formulas for dynamic functionality:- Asset ID Generation: =TEXT(TODAY(),"yyyymmdd") & "-" & TEXT(ROW()-1,"000") – Auto-generates unique IDs based on date and row number.
- Total Value Calculation: In the 'Assets Master List' sheet:
=C2*E2(assuming quantity in C, unit cost in E). - Status Color Logic: Uses IF and COUNTIFS for dashboard metrics.
- Date Validation: Data validation ensures End Date > Start Date using:
=AND(D2>E2). - Conditional Formatting Rules: Applies color coding based on status (e.g., red for "Damaged", yellow for "In Transit").
Conditional Formatting Rules
Apply the following rules to enhance visual clarity:- Status Column (Assets Master List): Use color scales: Red = Damaged, Orange = In Transit, Yellow = On Site, Green = On Hand.
- Condition Rating: Apply icon sets (1-5 stars) where 4–5 appear green and 1–2 appear red.
- Dates Near Expiry: Highlight cells in "Last Inspection Date" if older than 90 days:
=AND(C2<>"", C2
