Warranty Expiry: =EDATE([@Purchase Date], 36)
Current Depreciation Value: =[@[Purchase Price]] * (1 - (DATEDIF([@Purchase Date], TODAY(), "y") / 5))
Next Maintenance Due: =IF([@[Maintenance Interval]]="Monthly", EDATE([@Last Service], 1), IF([@[Maintenance Interval]]="Yearly", EDATE([@Last Service], 12), ""))
