Table Structure: Assets List (Main Sheet)

The Assets List is the central component of this tracking system. It functions as a dynamic database that supports filtering, sorting, and conditional reporting.

Formulas Required

The template leverages several dynamic formulas to automate data tracking:

• Auto-generated Asset ID:
  

  =TEXT(COUNTA(A2:A1000)+1, "AS-00#")

• Years Since Purchase:
  

  =ROUND(YEARFRAC([@[Purchase Date]], TODAY(), 1), 2)

• Current Value:
  

  =[@[Purchase Price]] * (1 - [@[[Depreciation Rate (%)]]])^[@[Years Since Purchase]]

• Warranty Status:
  

  =IF([@[Warranty End Date]] < TODAY(), "Expired", IF([@[Warranty End Date]] < TODAY()+90, "Expiring Soon", "Active"))

Conditional Formatting Rules

To enhance visibility and rapid decision-making, the template applies conditional formatting to key columns:

• Warranty Status Column: Red for “Expired”, Yellow for “Expiring Soon”, Green for “Active”.
• Current Value: Amber gradient scale – lower values highlighted in red to indicate potential replacement needs.
• Status Column: Color-coded: green (Active), orange (Under Maintenance), red (Retired/lost).
• Warranty End Date: Cells turn red if the date is within 30 days of today.
