Equipment_Inventory Sheet

Formulas Required

• In the Equipment_Inventory sheet, column Next_Service_Due uses: =IF(ISBLANK(Last_Service_Date),"N/A",EDATE(Last_Service_Date,3)) — assumes service every 3 months.
• Budget_Allocation sheet calculates Total_Spent as: =SUMIFS(Usage_Log[Cost], Usage_Log[Campaign_ID], Campaign_ID)
• Dashboards use SUMIFS to total equipment costs by Type and Quarter for trend analysis.
• Status column in Equipment_Inventory uses conditional logic: =IF(TODAY()>Next_Service_Due,"Under Repair",IF(AND(Assigned_To_Campaign<>"",End_Date>=TODAY()),"In Use","Available"))

Conditional Formatting

• Rows in Equipment_Inventory with Status = "Under Repair" turn red.
• Cells where Next_Service_Due is within 7 days highlight yellow as a warning.
• Budget_Allocation sheet highlights overspent campaigns (Total_Spent > Budget_Allotted) in dark red.
• Equipment with Cost_USD > $5,000 are highlighted in light blue to denote high-value assets.
