Assets List – Table Structure and Data Types

The Assets List sheet contains a structured table named "tblAssets" (Excel Table format). Each row represents one household item. The columns are as follows:

Column Name	Data Type / Format	Description / Example
Asset ID	Text (Auto-generated)	A unique identifier such as "AS-001," "AS-002," etc., automatically assigned via formula.
Item Name	Text	Description of the item (e.g., "Samsung 65” Smart TV," "Dining Table – Oak").
Category	Dropdown (Data Validation)	Predefined categories from the "Categories & Tags" sheet (e.g., Electronics, Furniture, Clothing).
Subcategory	Text / Dropdown	More specific grouping (e.g., "TVs," "Sofas," "Watches"). Optional but recommended for better filtering.
Purchase Date	Date	Format: mm/dd/yyyy. Used for depreciation, warranty tracking, and age analysis.
Purchase Price (USD)	Currency ($)	Original cost of the asset; entered as a numeric value with $ symbol.
Current Value (USD)	Currency ($), Formula	Dynamically calculated based on depreciation model (e.g., linear over 5 years).
Status	Dropdown: Active, In Storage, Repairing, Sold, Lost/Damaged	Tracks lifecycle state of each asset.
Last Maintenance Date	Date	For appliances or vehicles; helps plan upkeep.
Warranty Expiry	Date	Important for service and repair claims.
Location (Room/Storage)	Text / Dropdown	e.g., "Living Room," "Garage," "Attic." Helps with quick search and organization.
Notes	Text (Free-form)	Additional details like serial number, warranty documentation location, or special care instructions.

Formulas and Automation

The template uses several Excel formulas for automation:

Asset ID Auto-generation: =TEXT(ROWS(tblAssets[#All])+1,"AS-000")
Current Value (Linear Depreciation over 5 years):
=IF([@Purchase Price]=0, 0, MAX(0, [@Purchase Price] - ((TODAY()-[@Purchase Date])/1825)*[@Purchase Price]))
Note: Assumes straight-line depreciation over 5 years (1825 days).
Age in Years: =DATEDIF([@Purchase Date], TODAY(), "Y")
Status Color Coding: Conditional formatting uses formulas to highlight status (e.g., red for Lost/Damaged).

Conditional Formatting Rules

The template includes dynamic visual cues:

Warranty Expiry in 30 Days: Highlights rows with warranty expiring within 30 days using a red-orange gradient.
Status-Based Color Coding:
- Green: Active
- Yellow: In Storage, Repairing
- Red: Lost/Damaged, Sold
Aging Assets: Items older than 5 years are shaded in light gray.
Danger Zone for Value: Assets with current value below 30% of purchase price are highlighted in yellow.
