Formulas Used in the Template
The Extended Equipment Inventory template leverages powerful Excel formulas across sheets for automation:=IF(AND([@Status]="In Maintenance", [@Next Maintenance Due] < TODAY()), "OVERDUE MAINTENANCE", IF([@Next Maintenance Due] < TODAY(), "PENDING MAINTENANCE", "On Schedule"))This formula in the Main Inventory List identifies assets with overdue or upcoming maintenance.
=IF(AND([@Status]="Available", [@Condition Score]<3), "CRITICAL CONDITION", IF([@Condition Score]<6, "MODERATE CONDITION", "GOOD CONDITION"))Used to flag equipment needing urgent attention based on condition score. In the Dashboards sheet:
=COUNTIFS(MainInventory[Status], "In Use")Counts total assets currently in active use.
=COUNTIFS(MainInventory[Next Maintenance Due], "<="&TODAY(), MainInventory[Status], "<>Decommissioned")Identifies assets due for maintenance within the current period.
Conditional Formatting Rules
The template applies dynamic visual cues:- Overdue Maintenance: Red fill with white text if Next Maintenance Due is before today and Status ≠ Decommissioned.
- Pending Maintenance: Yellow fill if due within 14 days.
- Critical Condition: Orange highlight for assets with Condition Score < 3.
- Warranty Expiring Soon: Light blue background if Warranty Expiry is within 30 days.
