SHEET NAMES & PURPOSES

1. 1. Asset Inventory: The foundational sheet where all household assets are recorded, categorized, and updated.
2. 2. Asset Analysis Dashboard: A dynamic visualization and summary page that provides real-time insights using charts, pivot tables, and KPIs derived from the data in the Inventory sheet.

4. 4. Notes & Attachments: A flexible area to add custom comments, document references (e.g., receipts or manuals), and file links related to specific assets.

TABLE STRUCTURE & COLUMNS (Asset Inventory Sheet)

The "Asset Inventory" sheet is structured as a formal table with the following columns and corresponding data types:

FIELDS & FORMULAS REQUIRED

The template uses a suite of formulas to ensure accuracy and automation:

• Asset ID Auto-Generation (Column A): =TEXT(ROW()-1,"000") combined with a category prefix using an IF formula based on Category column.
• Current Value (Column F): =IF(ISBLANK(E2), "", E2 * (1 - ((TODAY() - C2) / 365.25) * D2 / 100)) This calculates depreciated value using straight-line depreciation.
• Maintenance Due (Column K): =IFERROR(VLOOKUP(A2, MaintenanceLog!A:D, 4, FALSE), "No Schedule") – pulls next maintenance date from the log sheet.
• Status Conditional Logic: Uses nested IF statements to flag high-risk or obsolete assets.

CONDITIONAL FORMATTING RULES

To enhance readability and visual prioritization, the following rules are applied:

• Warranty Expiry (Column G): Highlight cells red if date is within 30 days.
• Current Value (Column F): Green for values above $500, yellow for $100–$500, red below $100.
• Status Column (Column H): Red text for "Retired", orange for "Under Repair", green for "Active".
• Asset Age (calculated from Purchase Date): Highlight assets older than 10 years in light grey.
