Table Structures & Column Definitions

1. Assets Sheet

This sheet is the backbone of the template, housing all individual asset records in a clean, compact format. | Column Name | Data Type | Description | |------------------------|--------------------|-----------| | Asset ID (Unique) | Text/Number | Auto-generated unique identifier (e.g., AS-00123). | | Asset Name | Text | Descriptive name of the asset (e.g., "Laptop - John Doe"). | | Category | Dropdown List | Predefined categories: Computer, Printer, Furniture, Software License, etc. | | Serial Number | Text | Manufacturer or vendor serial number (if applicable). | | Purchase Date | Date | When the asset was acquired. | | Warranty Expiry | Date | End date of warranty coverage. | | Location ID | Dropdown (from Locations sheet) | Where the asset is currently located. | | Assigned To | Text (Employee Name) | Current user or department responsible for the asset. | | Status | Dropdown | Options: In Use, Idle, Under Maintenance, Lost/Stolen, Decommissioned. | | Condition | Dropdown | Rating: Excellent, Good, Fair, Poor. | | Value (USD) | Currency (Number) | Original purchase value or current appraisal. | | Last Inspection Date | Date | When the last physical inspection occurred. |

2. Locations Sheet

A centralized list of all physical and departmental locations within the office. | Column Name | Data Type | |-------------------|-----------------| | Location ID | Text (e.g., L01) | | Location Name | Text (e.g., Finance Dept, East Wing, Meeting Room B) | | Floor Level | Number/Text |

3. Maintenance Log Sheet

Formulas Required

The template uses dynamic formulas to ensure data integrity and reduce manual input.

Asset ID Auto-Generation: =TEXT(COUNTA(A:A)+1,"0000") used in conjunction with a formula that prefixes it (e.g., "AS-"&TEXT(COUNTA(A:A)+1,"000")) to create sequentially numbered IDs.
Warranty Status: =IF(Warranty_Expiry — displays "Expired" or "Active" in the status column.


    Next Maintenance Due: In the Maintenance Log, formula calculates next due date based on frequency (e.g., annual): =DATE(YEAR(Date_Performed),MONTH(Date_Performed)+12,DAY(Date_Performed)).
    Asset Count by Category: Using COUNTIF(Category_Column, "Computer") to generate totals in the Dashboard.
    Status Summary: SUMPRODUCT(--(Status_Column="In Use")) provides real-time count of assets currently in active use.



Conditional Formatting
To enhance visual clarity and alert users to critical statuses:


    Warranty Expiry: Highlight rows where =Warranty_Expiry <= TODAY()+30 with a yellow background to indicate impending expiry.
    Status: 
        
            "Lost/Stolen" → Red fill, bold text.
            "Under Maintenance" → Orange fill.
            "In Use" → Green fill (to show active usage).
        
    
    Condition Rating: 
        
            "Poor" → Red text and border.
            "Fair" → Yellow fill.
            "Excellent" → Light green fill.
