=IF(AND([Purchase Date]<>"",[Expected Lifespan]>0), ([Expected Lifespan]*365 - (TODAY()-[Purchase Date]))/365, 0) - Current Value (Straight-Line):
=IF([Purchase Price] > 0, [Purchase Price] - ([Purchase Price]/[Expected Lifespan]) * DATEDIF([Purchase Date], TODAY(), "Y"), 0) - Status Color Indicator: Used in conditional formatting based on status value.
