Formulas Required

The template uses dynamic formulas to ensure automation and real-time updates:

Asset ID Auto-generation: =TEXT(COUNTA(Assets!$A:$A)+1,"MKT-000") (in Asset Tracking Dashboard).
Last Updated Timestamp: Use a VBA macro or formula: =NOW() in a hidden column to auto-update.
Status Color Coding: Conditional formatting based on status values.
Usage Count: In Master List, use: =COUNTIF(Lifecycle!$B:$B, A2), where A2 is the Asset ID.
Budget Tracking: Use: =SUMIFS(MasterList!$K:$K, MasterList!$C:$C, CampaignName) to aggregate costs by campaign.

Conditional Formatting Rules (Manager View Dashboard)

Apply these rules on the Asset Tracking Dashboard for visual prioritization:

Status: Red fill if status is “Archived”; yellow if “In Review”;
Expiry Date: Highlight cells in orange if within 7 days of expiration;
Budget Allocated: Color scale based on budget usage (e.g., red = over 100%);
Last Updated: Light green for updates in last 24 hours; light gray if older than 7 days.

User Instructions

Add a New Asset: Go to “Marketing Assets Master List” and enter the details. The Asset ID will auto-generate.
Update Status: Select a status from the dropdown in the master list; this triggers conditional formatting updates.
Log Changes: Use “Asset Lifecycle Log” to record every edit or approval—critical for audit trails.
Maintain Data Integrity: Avoid editing cells directly unless necessary. Use dropdowns and validated inputs where possible.
Duplicate Assets: Check the master list before creating new assets to prevent duplication.
