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

=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.
