Dynamic visual reports generated using PivotTables and charts: - KPIs Displayed: - Total Maintenance Events (Monthly) - Average Downtime per Asset (Hours) - Cost Per Maintenance Activity (£) - % of Preventive vs. Corrective Tasks - Chart Types: 1. Column Chart – Monthly Maintenance Volume 2. Pie Chart – Breakdown by Maintenance Type 3. Line Graph – Trend in Average Duration Over TimeFormulas & Automation
The template leverages advanced Excel functions for automation and accuracy:- Duration Calculation:
=IF(EndDateTime="", "", (EndDateTime-StartDateTime)*24) - Status Color Coding: =IF(Status="Completed", "Green", IF(Status="Open", "Red", "Yellow"))
- Last Maintenance Date (from Log):
=MAXIFS(MaintenanceLog[Date Logged], MaintenanceLog[Asset ID], [@Asset ID]) - Next Due Date: =IF([@LastMaintenanceDate]="", "", [@LastMaintenanceDate] + 90) – for quarterly preventive tasks
- Total Monthly Cost: SUMIFS formula aggregating labor and material costs per month
Conditional Formatting Rules (Professional Style)
- **Overdue Maintenance Alerts:** If "Next Scheduled Maintenance Due (Days)" ≤ 0, cell background turns RED. - **High Cost Tasks (>£500):** Highlight in ORANGE for review. - **Critical Status:** "Emergency" tasks are highlighted with a bold red border and white text. - **Completed Entries:** Apply green fill with checkmark icon (using Emoji or conditional formatting icons).User Instructions
