Formulas & Automation
The template uses advanced Excel formulas to automate critical operations:- Asset ID Generator: Uses
=TEXT(YEAR(TODAY()),"0000")&"-"&TEXT(COUNTA(A:A)+1,"000")with a custom prefix to create unique IDs. - Purchase Cost Validation: Data validation ensures values are > 5 and ≤ 1,000,000.
- Warranty Expiry:
=DATE(YEAR(PurchaseDate), MONTH(PurchaseDate)+12*3, DAY(PurchaseDate)) - Current Value: Uses the SLN (Straight-Line) function:
=SLN(PurchaseCost, 0, 5), adjusted monthly for depreciation. - Status Color Logic: Conditional formatting uses formulas like
=Status="In Maintenance".
Conditional Formatting Rules
To improve readability and highlight critical items:- Expired Warranty: Applies red fill if today's date > Warranty Expiry.
- Maintenance Due Soon: Amber background for entries where Warranty Expiry is within 30 days.
- Status-Based Colors: Green (Active), Yellow (In Maintenance), Red (Out of Service).
- High-Value Equipment: Light blue highlight if Purchase Cost > $1,500.
