    Status Color Coding: Green for "In Stock", Yellow for "Allocated", Red for "Lost/Damaged", Blue for "Under Maintenance".
    Overdue Events: Highlight entire row in red if End Date is past today and Status is not “Returned”.
    Aging Assets: Conditional formatting on Purchase Date to show assets older than 3 years in bold, amber background.
