Formulas Required
=IFERROR("MKT-" & TEXT(ROW()-1, "000"), "") – Auto-generates Asset ID based on row number.
=TEXT(A2, "MMM YYYY") – Ensures the month and year are standardized (e.g., Jan 2024).
=IF(AND(DATE(YEAR(TODAY()), MONTH(TODAY()), 1) = DATE(YEAR([Deadline]), MONTH([Deadline]), 1), [Status]="Delivered"), "On Track", IF([Deadline] < TODAY(), "Late", "On Schedule")) – Status tracker based on current date vs. deadline.
=COUNTIF(StatusRange, "Delivered") / COUNTA(StatusRange) – Calculates completion rate for the month.
Conditional Formatting
The template includes dynamic conditional formatting rules to highlight critical data:
Overdue Deadlines: Red fill with black text if Deadline is before today’s date and status ≠ "Delivered".
Approvals Pending: Yellow fill for any row where Approval Status is “Pending” and the current month is past.
Status Color Coding: Green for "Delivered", Orange for "In Progress", Red for "Late", Blue for "Pending Approval".

Open the template and save it with a unique name (e.g., “Marketing_Assets_Q3_2024.xlsx”).
Navigate to the "Asset Tracking List" sheet and begin entering new assets.
Use the dropdowns for consistent data entry (e.g., Asset Type, Status).
