Sheet Names and Structure
The template consists of four primary worksheets:- Assets List: Central table containing all tracked assets with detailed information.

- Rental & Vendor Info: Records supplier details including contact information and payment terms.

Formulas Required
The template uses several essential formulas to automate tracking:- Auto-generated Asset ID:
=TEXT(COUNTA(A:A)+1,"000")
(Placed in cell A2 and dragged down) - Missing Items Alert:
=IF(Quantity Needed > Current Quantity, "⚠️ Missing", "")
(Displays alert if not all items are received.) - Total Cost Calculation:
=Cost per Unit * Quantity Needed
(In a new column to summarize total investment per asset.)
Conditional Formatting Rules
To enhance visual clarity and highlight critical items:- Red fill with white text for "Damaged" status.
- Yellow fill for "⚠️ Missing" items (using the formula above).
- Green background for "Received" or "In Use" statuses.
- Color scale applied to Cost per Unit column to identify expensive items.
