- Pie chart showing equipment category distribution by status.
- Bar graph comparing utilization hours across different equipment types.
- Status heat map highlighting high-risk assets (e.g., overdue maintenance).
Formulas Required
The template uses advanced Excel formulas to automate calculations and maintain data integrity:
- Maintenance Due Date:
=IF([@Status]="Active",[@[Last Maintenance Date]]+[@[Service Interval]],"N/A") - Overdue Indicator (Conditional Format Basis):
=AND([@Status]="Active", [@[[Maintenance Due]]] - Total Utilization Hours:
=SUMIFS('Allocation & Utilization Log'!$H:$H, 'Allocation & Utilization Log'!$A:$A, [@ID]) - Depreciation Status (Automated):
=IF([@Total Utilization Hours]>1000,"Critical",IF([@Total Utilization Hours]>500,"High","Moderate"))
Conditional Formatting Rules
To enhance data readability and strategic insight:
- Overdue Maintenance Alerts: Red fill with white text for rows where “Maintenance Due” is earlier than today.
- High Utilization Equipment: Orange highlight for assets with utilization hours above 80% of their expected life cycle.
- Status Indicator Colors: Green ("Active"), Yellow ("In Maintenance"), Red ("Decommissioned").
