Formulas Required

The following formulas are applied to maintain automation and accuracy:

  Calculates the next scheduled maintenance date if equipment is active.
• Warranty Status: =IF([@Warranty Expiry] < TODAY(), "Expired", IF([@Warranty Expiry] < TODAY() + 30, "Expiring Soon", "Valid"))
  Evaluates current warranty health.
• Days Since Last Service: =IF([@Status]="Active", TODAY() - [@Last Serviced Date], 0)
  Tracks how long it’s been since the last maintenance.
• Total Equipment Count (in KPI Dashboard): =COUNTA(Equipment_Inventory[ID Number])
• Active Equipment Count: =COUNTIF(Equipment_Inventory[Status], "Active")
• Equipment with Expiring Warranty (Next 30 days): =SUMPRODUCT((Equipment_Inventory[Warranty Expiry] < TODAY() + 30) * (Equipment_Inventory[Warranty Expiry] >= TODAY()))

Conditional Formatting
