Table Structures and Columns (Maintenance Log - Tracking View)

The primary sheet, "Maintenance Log (Tracking View)", is structured as a dynamic table with the following column definitions:

Column Name	Data Type	Description & Usage
Asset ID	Text/Number (Unique)	A unique identifier for each logistics asset (e.g., truck, forklift, container). Links to Asset Inventory.
Asset Type	Dropdown List (Text)	Categories such as "Truck", "Trailer", "Forklift", "Pallet Jack". Ensures consistent classification.
Location	Text (Auto-fill from Inventory)	Current operational location of the asset (e.g., "Downtown Depot", "Regional Hub 2"). Helps in logistics routing.
Last Maintenance Date	Date	Automatic field updated after each maintenance task. Used to calculate time since last service.
Next Due Date	Date (Calculated)	Auto-calculated based on maintenance schedule frequency (e.g., every 1,000 miles or every 90 days).
Maintenance Type	Dropdown List	Categorized as: Preventive, Corrective, Emergency Repair, Calibration.
Service Description	Text (Memo Field)	Detailed notes about the task performed (e.g., "Oil change and filter replacement").
Maintenance Technician	Text (From List)	Name of the technician responsible. Pre-filled from a staff list in the Inventory sheet.
Cost (USD)	Number (Currency Format)	Total cost incurred for parts, labor, and services.
Status	Dropdown List: Active / Overdue / Scheduled / Completed	Real-time status to track task progress across logistics planning cycles.
Mileage/Hrs Since Last Service	Number (Integer)	Tracks operational usage. Auto-updated from Asset Inventory or manually entered.
Priority Level	Color-coded Dropdown: Low / Medium / High / Critical	Affects dashboard visibility and alerting. Critical tasks trigger color warnings.

Formulas Required

The template uses a combination of built-in Excel functions to automate tracking:

Next Due Date: `=IF([@Last Maintenance Date]="", "", [@Last Maintenance Date] + IF(LEFT([@Maintenance Type], 10)="Preventive", 90, 30))` – adjusts based on maintenance type and frequency.
Status Update (Auto): `=IF(TODAY() > [@[Next Due Date]], "Overdue", IF([@Status]="Completed", "Completed", "Scheduled"))` – dynamically reflects the current state.
Days Until Due: `=MAX(0, [@Next Due Date] - TODAY())` – useful for planning and scheduling.
Total Maintenance Cost per Asset: Uses a SUMIF formula linking to the Repair History Summary sheet for roll-up reporting.

Conditional Formatting

To enhance visual tracking, several conditional formatting rules are applied:

Overdue Items: Highlighted in red if "Next Due Date" is earlier than today.
Critical Priority: Text and background displayed in bright red with bold font.
Status Change Alerts: Green highlight for "Completed", yellow for "Scheduled".
Cost Thresholds: If cost exceeds $1,000, cell turns orange to flag high expenditure items.
Mileage Alert: When mileage reaches 95% of the next service threshold, the row turns amber.
