Formulas and Automation

The template leverages advanced Excel formulas to enhance accuracy and reduce manual input:

Dynamic Asset ID Generation: =TEXT(TODAY(),"yyyymmdd")&"-"&TEXT(COUNTA(A:A)+1,"000")
Status Alert Logic (in Status Dashboard): =IF(AND([@Status]="In Transit",[@Delivery Date]


    Available Quantity Check:
        =MAX(0, [@[Quantity]] - SUMIFS('Check-In/Out Log'!$D:$D, 'Check-In/Out Log'!$B:$B, [@ID], 'Check-In/Out Log'!$H:$H, "Active"))
    Days Until Event:
        =IF([@Event Date]>"", [@Event Date]-TODAY(), "")



Conditional Formatting Rules
To ensure quick visual assessment of critical statuses, the template includes these rules:

    Red text + background for assets overdue maintenance: If "Days Since Last Maintenance" > 365.
    Yellow highlight for delivery due within 7 days: When "Delivery Date" is between TODAY() and TODAY()+7.
    Green checkmark emoji for completed events: If Status = "Complete".
    Bold red text when Available Quantity ≤ 1: Alerts team to potential shortages.


User Instructions for Team Use
To maximize collaboration and accuracy, follow these guidelines:

    Save a copy of the template to your shared drive (e.g., SharePoint or Google Drive).
    Only designated team leads should edit the "Asset Inventory" sheet.
