Formulas Required (Business Use Optimization)

The template includes advanced formulas to automate business reporting and financial tracking:

Auto-fill Asset ID & Description: Uses VLOOKUP or XLOOKUP to pull asset details from the "Assets & Equipment List" based on the selected ID.

Next Due Date Calculation: Formula like:

=IF(STATUS="Completed", DATE(YEAR(Date of Service)+1, MONTH(Date of Service), DAY(Date of Service)), "")

(Adapted for monthly/quarterly/annual frequencies per asset.)

Cost Variance: Calculates difference between estimated and actual cost:
```
=IF(Actual Cost (£)>0, Actual Cost (£)-Estimated Cost (£), "N/A")
```
Status Indicator Formula: Returns color-coded result based on status for dashboard use.
Monthly Maintenance Spend Summary (in Work Orders Summary sheet): Uses SUMIFS to aggregate costs by month and category.

Conditional Formatting (Business & Office Management Enhancements)

To support effective office management, the template features dynamic visual cues:

Overdue Maintenance Alerts: If "Next Due Date" is earlier than today’s date and status ≠ "Completed", the row turns red.
Status-Based Color Coding:
- Scheduled: Yellow background
- In Progress: Light blue
- Completed: Green
- Cancelled: Gray
Cost Overrun Highlighting: If Actual Cost > Estimated Cost, the cell shows a red border and bold text.
Data Validation Rules: Prevents invalid entries (e.g., negative costs, future dates for "Date of Service").
