  Equipment Needed (Multi-select) Lookup from Master List (using dynamic array formulas)
  Estimated Cost of Use ($) =SUMIF(Inventory Log!B:B, Equipment ID, Inventory Log!G:G) — calculates depreciation during campaign duration
  Budget Allocated ($) Manual input (aligned with overall Marketing Plan budget)
  Usage Efficiency (%) =IF(Budget_Allocated=0, 0, Estimated_Cost_of_Use/Budget_Allocated) — KPI for resource optimization

  Formulas Required

  • =VLOOKUP(EquipmentID, MasterList!A:G, 6, FALSE) — to pull purchase cost into log.
  • =DATEDIF(TODAY(), ReturnDateExpected,"d") — shows days until return due (used for conditional formatting).
  • =SUMIFS(InventoryLog!E:E, InventoryLog!B:B, MasterList!A2) — total usage count per equipment.
  • =IF(CampaignEfficiency > 100%, "Overspent", IF(CampaignEfficiency > 85%, "On Target", "Underutilized")) — automated campaign efficiency rating.

  Conditional Formatting

  • Red: Equipment overdue for return (>7 days past Expected Return Date)
  • Amaranth: Equipment with “Damaged” or “Lost” condition after use.
  • Yellow: Campaign spending exceeds 90% of budget.
  • Green: Equipment usage efficiency between 85–100%.
