SHEET NAMES AND STRUCTURE

The template comprises four primary worksheets:

1. Asset Inventory: The core tracking sheet containing all asset details, maintenance records, and valuation data.
2. Quarterly Review Dashboard: A visual summary page with charts and KPIs displaying asset performance across quarters.
3. Maintenance Log: A chronological record of all maintenance activities performed on household assets.
4. Instructions & Tips: A guide sheet with user instructions, formula explanations, and best practices for home management.

TABLE STRUCTURE AND COLUMNS (Asset Inventory Sheet)

The Asset Inventory sheet contains a main table with the following columns and data types:

FORMULAS REQUIRED

The template uses several key formulas to ensure automation and accuracy:

• Current Estimated Value (Cell E): Uses a straight-line depreciation formula: =IF(D10=0, 0, D10 * (1 - ((TODAY() - B10) / (365.25 * 7)))
  (Assumes a 7-year lifespan; adjust as needed.)
• Next Maintenance Due (Cell H): =TEXT(B10 + (F10 * 30), "Q# YYYY")
  (Assumes maintenance every F10 months; adjusted to quarter format.)
• Age in Years: =ROUND((TODAY() - B10) / 365.25, 2)
• Status Color Indicator (Conditional Formatting): Uses formulas to highlight assets based on status and maintenance due dates.

CONDITIONAL FORMATTING RULES

To enhance usability and visual tracking:

• Next Maintenance Due within 30 Days: Highlights the row in red if next service is due in less than 30 days.
• Condition Rating of 1 or 2: Applies a yellow fill to indicate poor condition requiring attention.
• Status = Decommissioned/Sold: Applies gray text and background to distinguish inactive assets.
• Current Value Below $100: Highlights in orange if the asset is nearing negligible value, indicating replacement consideration.
