Table Structures and Data Types

Formulas Required

• Auto-increment Asset ID: =TEXT(ROW()-1,"000") used with concatenation: "AST-"&TEXT(ROW()-1,"000")
• Depreciation Calculation (Straight-Line): =ROUND((Cost - SalvageValue) / Lifespan, 2)
• Asset Age: =DATEDIF(PurchaseDate, TODAY(), "Y")
• Total Active Assets Value: =SUMIFS(Cost, Status, "Active")
• Average Growth Impact Score: =AVERAGEIF(Status,"Active",GrowthImpactScore)
