Table Structures and Columns (Assets Database)

Formulas Used in the Template

• Auto-generated Asset ID: =TEXT(TODAY(),"yyyymmdd")&TEXT(ROW()-1,"000") (used in a helper column, then locked as static after entry).
• Status Color Coding: Conditional formatting rules to highlight statuses (e.g., red for "Under Repair", green for "Active").
• Age of Asset: =DATEDIF([@PurchaseDate],TODAY(),"y")&" years, "&DATEDIF([@PurchaseDate],TODAY(),"ym")&" months"
• Total Value by Category: SUMIFS([Purchase Cost], [Category], "IT Equipment") (used in the Dashboard).
• Asset Count per Department: COUNTIFS([Department], "Engineering")
• Last Updated Timestamp: A dynamic column that auto-updates with current date/time when any cell in a row is edited (via VBA, optional).

Conditional Formatting Rules

• Status Field: Red background for "Under Repair", yellow for "On Hold", green for "Active".
• Purchase Date: Highlights assets older than 3 years in orange (potential need for replacement).
• Cost Threshold: Assets over $2,000 are highlighted in bold black font.
• Duplicate Serial Numbers: Rule to flag duplicates using =COUNTIF(SerialNumber_Column,[@SerialNumber]) > 1.
