- Annual Depreciation Summary: Uses a PivotTable to summarize depreciation by department and asset type.
Conditional Formatting
The template uses conditional formatting to highlight critical financial indicators:
- Red Highlight for Book Value Below 10% of Original Cost: Signals potential obsolescence or need for replacement.
- Yellow Highlight if Maintenance Costs Increased by >30% from Previous Year: Triggers review of equipment health.
