Table Structure and Columns (Asset Tracking Sheet)

Free-text field for additional details such as model number, serial number, or repair history.

Formulas Required

• Asset ID: Use an auto-incrementing formula in a hidden column: =IF(A2="", "HOM-"&TEXT(ROW()-1,"000"), A2)
• Current Value: =Purchase Cost * (1 - 0.1 * (TODAY() - Purchase Date)/365)
• Maintenance Due In: =IF(AND(Last Maintenance Date<>"", [Service Interval]<>""), [Service Interval] - (TODAY() - Last Maintenance Date), "N/A")
• Status Alert: Conditional formatting triggers based on "Maintenance Due In" value.

Conditional Formatting Rules

• Red Highlight: If “Maintenance Due In” ≤ 7 days → indicates urgent attention.
• Yellow Highlight: If “Maintenance Due In” between 8–14 days → cautionary reminder.
