Table Structures and Columns (with Data Types)

1. Asset Master List (Sheet 1)

This sheet serves as the authoritative database for all assets across the organization. | Column Name | Data Type | Description | |-------------|----------|-----------| | Asset ID | Text (Unique Identifier) | Auto-generated or manually assigned code, e.g., "ASSET-2024-089" | | Asset Name | Text | Descriptive name (e.g., "Laser Printer HP-150") | | Category | Dropdown List (Text) | E.g., IT Equipment, Machinery, Vehicles, Tools | | Location | Text or Dropdown (with location list) | e.g., "Warehouse B", "Head Office", "Field Site A" | | Assigned To | Text/Employee ID (Dropdown) | Name or ID of the user/team responsible | | Purchase Date | Date Format | Date when asset was acquired | | Warranty Expiry | Date Format | End date of manufacturer warranty | | Maintenance Cycle (Months) | Number (Integer) | Interval between required maintenance checks | | Last Maintenance Date | Date Format | Most recent maintenance event date | | Next Due Maintenance (Auto) | Formula-Based (Date) | Calculated as: =IF([LastMaintenanceDate], [LastMaintenanceDate]+[MaintenanceCycle]*30, "Pending") | | Status | Dropdown (Text) | Options: Active, In Maintenance, Out of Service, Decommissioned | | Condition Rating (1–5) | Number (Integer 1–5) | 1 = Poor; 5 = Excellent — used for risk forecasting | | Depreciation Rate (%) | Number (% Format) | Annual depreciation percentage for financial tracking | | Estimated Lifespan (Years) | Number (Integer) | Expected useful life of the asset |

Formulas Required

Next Due Maintenance (in Asset Master List): =IF(AND([LastMaintenanceDate]<>"", [MaintenanceCycle]>0), [LastMaintenanceDate] + ([MaintenanceCycle]*30), "Not Applicable")
Status Indicator (Conditional Logic): Uses nested IFs to auto-detect if maintenance is overdue, e.g., =IF([NextDueDate]


    Warranty Expiry Alert (in Dashboard): =IF([WarrantyExpiry] - TODAY() <= 30, "Urgent: Expires in 30 Days", IF([WarrantyExpiry] - TODAY() <= 90, "Warning: Expires in 90 Days", "Safe"))
    Depreciation Remaining Value (in Dashboard): =OriginalCost * (1 - ((TODAY()-PurchaseDate)/365.25)/EstimatedLifespan)
    Asset Count by Category and Status: Using COUNTIFS functions across the Asset Master List.



Conditional Formatting Rules

    Overdue Maintenance: Highlight cells in red if "Next Due Maintenance" is earlier than today.
    Status Column: Color-coded: Green for "Active", Yellow for "In Maintenance", Red for "Out of Service".
    Warranty Expiry Alerts: Orange text when expiry is within 90 days, red when within 30.
    Condition Rating: Traffic light system: Red (1–2), Yellow (3), Green (4–5).
    Planning Calendar: Color-fill cells by maintenance type or priority level.


User Instructions
