Sheet Structure and Navigation

The template comprises five primary sheets, each serving a distinct purpose in the maintenance workflow:

• 1. Maintenance Log (Main): The core operational sheet where all maintenance records are logged.
• 2. Asset Inventory: A centralized list of all office equipment and facilities, including serial numbers, purchase dates, and warranty information.
• 3. Departmental Overview: A summary dashboard showing maintenance activity by department (e.g., HR, Finance, IT).
• 4. Maintenance Status Summary: Real-time tracking of pending, completed, overdue, and scheduled tasks.
• 5. Monthly Performance Report: A historical report summarizing maintenance trends over time with visual charts.

This is a dynamic table with the following columns:

Formulas and Automation

The template leverages advanced Excel formulas to automate data consistency and reporting:

• Auto-increment Log ID: =IF(A2="", MAX($A$1:$A$1000)+1, A2) in cell A2 (with a helper column for tracking).
• Status Color Coding: Conditional formatting rules apply based on status values.
• Overdue Detection: =IF(AND(Status="Pending", Today() > DueDate), "Overdue", "On Track").
• Average Repair Cost by Department: Using SUMIFS() and COUNTIFS() in the Departmental Overview sheet.
• Maintenance Frequency Count: Formula to count occurrences of each maintenance type over a month.

Conditional Formatting Rules

To enhance readability and urgency, the template uses conditional formatting across key columns:

• Status Column: Red background for “Overdue”, Yellow for “In Progress”, Green for “Completed”.
• Date Completed: If blank and status is not "Completed", highlight in red.
• Repair Cost: Highlight values above £100 in orange (indicating high-cost repairs).
