Table Structures & Columns (Equipment List – Main Sheet)
The central "Equipment List" sheet features a well-organized table structure designed for compactness without sacrificing clarity:
| Column Name | Data Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Item ID (Auto) | Numerical (Auto-increment) | A unique identifier for each equipment item. Automatically generated using a formula. |
| Equipment Name | Text | Name of the equipment (e.g., "Fridge," "Water Heater"). |
| Category | List (Dropdown) | Type of equipment: Appliances, Tools, Electronics, HVAC, Plumbing, etc. |
| Purchase Date | Date | When the item was acquired. |
| Warranty Expiry | Date | End date of manufacturer warranty (auto-calculated if purchase date + duration). |
| Last Maintenance Date | Date | |
| Maintenance Interval (Months) | Numerical (Integer) | |
| Status | List (Dropdown: Active, Under Repair, Replaced, Decommissioned) | |
| Location | Text | |
| Notes | Text (Optional) |
Formulas Required
The template uses several smart Excel formulas to automate maintenance tracking and status updates:
- Auto-increment Item ID:
=IF(A2="", MAX(A:A)+1, A2) - Warranty Expiry (if duration known):
=DATE(YEAR(B2)+5, MONTH(B2), DAY(B2))(assuming 5-year warranty). - Maintenance Due Date:
=EDATE(E2, G2)— calculates next due date from last service. - Status Alert (Overdue Maintenance):
=IF(TODAY() > H2, "Overdue", IF(TODAY() > EDATE(H2, -30), "Due Soon", "On Track")) - Total Count of Active Equipment:
=COUNTIF(F:F, "Active")(used in dashboard). - Warranty Expiry Alert:
=IF(W2-TODAY() <= 30, "Expires Soon", IF(W2-TODAY() <= 0, "Expired", ""))
Conditional Formatting
To enhance visual clarity and alert users to critical statuses:
- Warranty Expiry (30 days or less): Red fill with yellow text.
- Maintenance Overdue: Orange fill for items where maintenance is past due.
- Status = Decommissioned: Light gray background with strikethrough font.
- Last Maintenance Date > 12 months ago: Light red highlight to flag long-overdue servicing.
