- Reorder Alert: =IF([@Current Stock Level] <= [@Reorder Point], "REORDER NEEDED", "OK")
- Duplicate Detection (Equipment ID): Conditional formatting rule to highlight duplicates using COUNTIF.
- Total Maintenance Cost per Equipment: SUMIFS on Parts Used and Unit Cost fields.
Conditional Formatting
- Red background for parts with stock level ≤ reorder point.
- Yellow highlights for maintenance entries where "Next Due Date" is within 7 days.
- Green text for completed tasks, red text for pending ones.
- Gradient fill based on hours spent (high to low).
