Formulas Used

The template leverages several formulas across sheets for automation and intelligent tracking:

=IF(ISNUMBER([@Value]), [@Value], 0)

Ensures only numeric values are processed in calculations.

=COUNTIFS(Status, "Active")

Counts active assets on the Dashboard to show current operational capacity.

=AVERAGEIF([Growth Impact Score], ">=3", [Growth Impact Score])

Calculates average impact score for high-value assets only.

=SUMIFS([Value], [Status], "Active")

Sum of all currently active asset values (useful for financial health metrics).

Conditional Formatting

• High Growth Impact Assets (Score ≥ 4): Highlighted in green text with yellow background to draw attention.
• Inactive or Obsolete Assets: Shown in gray with strikethrough font to flag low-priority items.
