Formulas and Calculations
The template uses dynamic formulas to automate data processing and KPI generation:
- Total Inventory Cost: =SUM('Equipment Inventory'!D:D) – Total value of all equipment.
- Avg. Equipment Lifespan (Years): =AVERAGEIF('Equipment Inventory'!F:F,">0", 'Equipment Inventory'!G:G) – Calculates average time from purchase to current date.
- Annual Maintenance Cost: =SUMIFS('Maintenance Log'!D:D, 'Maintenance Log'!B:B, ">="&DATE(YEAR(TODAY())-1,MONTH(TODAY()),DAY(TODAY())), 'Maintenance Log'!B:B, "<="&TODAY()) – Total maintenance cost in last year.
- Utilization Rate: =COUNTIFS('Project Assignments'!E:E,"Active", 'Equipment Inventory'!H:H,"<>") / COUNTA('Equipment Inventory'!A:A) * 100 – Percentage of equipment currently in active projects.
- Warranty Status: =IF('Equipment Inventory'!J2<TODAY(),"Expired","Active") – Flags expiring warranties.
Conditional Formatting
To enhance visual clarity and alert users to critical issues:
- Warranty Expiry (30 days or less): Red highlight for rows where Warranty Expiry Date is within 30 days of today.
- Status = "Under Maintenance": Orange fill to indicate equipment unavailable for projects.
- Maintenance Cost > £100: Highlight in yellow to flag high-cost repairs.
