Maintenance Log Table Structure
The main sheet, Maintenance Log, is structured as a detailed table with the following columns:
| Column Name | Data Type/Format | Description & Usage Example |
|---|---|---|
| Date Reported | Date (DD/MM/YYYY) | When the issue was first noticed or reported. Used for tracking response time. |
| Issue Description | Text (up to 255 characters) | Brief description of the problem: "Leaking kitchen faucet" or "HVAC not cooling properly". |
| Location/Room | Dropdown List: Living Room, Kitchen, Bathroom, Garage, Roof, Basement etc. | Select the area of the home affected. Enables filtering and reporting by room. |
| Type of Maintenance | Dropdown: Preventive | Reactive | Repair | Upgrade | Inspection | Classifies the nature of maintenance for trend analysis. |
| Estimated Cost (£) | Numeric (with currency formatting) | Expected or actual cost. Used in financial summaries and budget forecasting. |
| Actual Cost (£) | Numeric (with currency formatting) | Final billed amount after completion. Allows variance analysis. |
| Assigned Vendor | Dropdown from Vendor Contacts sheet | Selects the service provider used, pulling contact details automatically. |
| Date Completed | Date (DD/MM/YYYY) | When the maintenance was fully finished and verified. |
| Status | Dropdown: Open | In Progress | Completed | On Hold | Cancelled | Real-time tracking of task progress. |
| Next Due Date (Recurring) | Date or "N/A" for one-off tasks | For recurring items like HVAC filter changes. Auto-filled based on frequency rules. |
Formulas Required
The template uses dynamic formulas to automate data processing and analysis:
- Days Until Due:
=IF(NOT(ISBLANK([@[Next Due Date]])), [@[@[Next Due Date]]]-TODAY(), "N/A")
Highlights tasks approaching their due date. - Status Color Coding: Conditional formatting applied via formula:
=[@Status]="Completed"→ Green background
=[@Status]="In Progress"→ Yellow background
=OR([@Status]="Open", [@Status]="On Hold")→ Red border - Total Annual Spend: In the Financial Summary sheet:
=SUMIFS('Maintenance Log'!$D:$D, 'Maintenance Log'!$G:$G, ">="&DATE(YEAR(TODAY()),1,1), 'Maintenance Log'!$G:$G, "<="&DATE(YEAR(TODAY()),12,31)) - Overdue Tasks Counter:
=COUNTIFS('Maintenance Log'!$K:$K, "Open", 'Maintenance Log'!$J:$J, "<"&TODAY()) - Next Due Reminder: Formula in the Scheduled Tasks sheet that auto-populates based on the Maintenance Log's Next Due Date.
Conditional Formatting Rules
To enhance usability and alert users to important conditions:
- Overdue Tasks: Any task where "Next Due Date" is earlier than today turns red text and bold font.
- Aging Issues: If a task has been "In Progress" for more than 7 days, it's highlighted in orange.
- Budget Threshold Warning: If "Actual Cost" exceeds the "Estimated Cost" by more than 20%, the cell turns red and adds a warning icon.
- Recurring Task Reminder: Tasks with a due date within 14 days are marked with a yellow background.
