Formulas and Automation

Status Tracker: Use IF/AND formulas to auto-update "Status (Current)" in the Master List based on assignment dates and return deadlines. For example: =IF(AND(ISBLANK([@Expected Return Date]), ISBLANK([@Assignment Date])), "Available", IF(TODAY()>[@Expected Return Date], "Overdue", IF(@[Assignment Date]<>"", "In Use", "Available")))
Availability Count: Use COUNTIFS to calculate how many assets are currently available: =COUNTIFS('Assets Master List'!$F:$F, "Available")
Duplicate Detection: Use conditional formatting and formula-based validation (e.g., COUNTIF) to highlight repeated Serial Numbers.

Conditional Formatting

Overdue Assets: Highlight rows where "Expected Return Date" is earlier than today's date using red fill.
Poor Condition Assets: Use yellow highlight for assets marked as "Poor" in the condition column.
Status Indicators: Apply color-coded icons (green = Available, amber = Reserved, red = In Use) to Status column for visual clarity.
