Formulas Required (Editable Features)

The template leverages several dynamic formulas to ensure accuracy and reduce manual input:

Next Maintenance Due (in Master List): =IF(E2="", "", EDATE(F2, 6)) — Assumes semi-annual maintenance every 6 months.
Last Update Date (in Location Tracker): =NOW() — Auto-updates when row is edited (requires manual trigger or enable automatic calculation).
Status Color Code (based on due date): Uses formulas to flag maintenance overdue: =IF(G2


    Equipment Count by Status: COUNTIF(Status_Column, "Active") — Used in dashboard for KPIs.
    Pivot Table Refresh (Dashboard): Formulas and tables are connected to dynamic pivot tables that update automatically with new data.



Conditional Formatting Rules
To enhance visual clarity and enable quick identification of critical items:

    Overdue Maintenance: Red background if "Next Maintenance Due" is before today’s date.
    Due Soon: Amber/yellow highlight for maintenance due within 7 days.
    Status Indicators: Green for "Operational", Red for "Out of Service", Orange for "Under Repair".
    Aging Equipment: Highlight assets older than 80% of their life span with a dark red fill to flag potential replacements.


User Instructions
