Formulas Required

This template leverages Excel formulas for automatic updates and intelligent tracking:

Next Maintenance Due (Column E): =IF(D2="", "", D2 + 90) *(Assumes maintenance every 90 days. Adjust as needed.)*
Status Color Indicator: Uses conditional formatting logic to color-code cells based on status value.
Overdue Maintenance Alert (Column E): =IF(AND(E2<>"", E2 *(Displays "Overdue" or "Due Soon" in the Notes column for urgency.)*


    Event Countdown (Optional): 
        =G2-TODAY()  
        *(Inserted in a hidden column or summary dashboard to show days until event.)*



Conditional Formatting

To enhance visual clarity and highlight critical items:

    Overdue Maintenance: If E2 < TODAY(), apply red fill with white text.
    Maintenance Due Soon: If E2 < TODAY() + 7, apply yellow fill.
    Event in Progress or Past: If G2 is less than today, use light gray background and italic text.
    Status Column Highlighting: 
        
            Active: Green background
            Maintenance Required / Under Repair: Orange background
