Table Structures and Columns with Data Types

Sheet 1: Master Equipment Inventory

This is the primary data sheet containing all equipment records. The table spans columns A through K with the following structure:

Sheet 2: Room-wise Inventory

This sheet uses a pivot-style layout with rooms as columns and equipment names as rows. It simplifies navigation by showing what’s in each room at a glance. Columns include:

• Room Name: Fixed (e.g., Kitchen, Garage)
• Equipment List: A list of all items assigned to that room from the Master Inventory.
• Count: Number of units per equipment type.
• Total Value ($): Sum of costs for that room’s equipment.

Sheet 3: Maintenance Schedule

A timeline-based table showing upcoming and overdue maintenance tasks:

Formulas Required

• Pivot Table on Room-wise Sheet (Sheet 2): Uses =GETPIVOTDATA() or a dynamic table to summarize items by location.
• Warranty Expiry Alert Formula (in Master Sheet, Column L): =IF(G2-TODAY()<=30, "Warranty expiring in 30 days!", IF(G2-TODAY()<0, "Expired", ""))
• Auto-incrementing Equipment ID (Column A): =IF(A1="",CONCATENATE("EQ",TEXT(COUNTA($A$2:$A$1000)+1,"000")),A1)
• Count of Equipment per Room (Sheet 2): =COUNTIF(Master!E:E, B2), where B2 is the room name.

Conditional Formatting

• Warranty Alerts: Highlight rows where warranty expires within 30 days (red background).
• Status Indicators: Color-code status columns: green for "Active", yellow for "Under Repair", red for "Out of Order".
• Maintenance Due Alerts: Format overdue tasks in bold red text.
• Value Thresholds: Apply color scale to Cost ($) column (e.g., high value items >$1000 highlighted in blue).
