• Downtime Frequency: =COUNTIFS(MaintenanceLog[Service Type], "Corrective", MaintenanceLog[Date of Service], ">="&TODAY()-30) – Counts corrective actions in last 30 days.
• Maintenance Compliance Rate: =IF(COUNTA(EquipmentInventoryMaster[@[Last Maintenance Date]:[Next Scheduled Maintenance]])=0, 0, COUNTIFS(MaintenanceLog[Date of Service], "<="&TODAY(), EquipmentInventoryMaster[[Last Maintenance Date]:[Next Scheduled Maintenance]], ">= "&TODAY()-30) / COUNTA(EquipmentInventoryMaster[[Equipment ID]]))
