Advanced Formulas & Automation
The template uses powerful Excel functions including:
=XLOOKUP()for dynamic lookups between Equipment Master and Maintenance Log.=TODAY()combined with date logic to calculate remaining warranty period.=COUNTIFS()to count incidents per equipment or category.=IF(AND(...))for status rules (e.g., "Overdue" if next due date is earlier than today).=SUMIFS()to aggregate maintenance costs by department, category, or technician.=DAYS()to track time since last maintenance.
Conditional Formatting Rules
Dynamically highlight critical information:
- Red fill + bold text: Equipment with "Next Maintenance Due" before today (overdue).
- Yellow fill: Next due in the next 14 days.
- Green fill: Within warranty period and maintenance schedule is up to date.
- Red text: Budget utilization > 90% for a given equipment unit.
- Color scale (3-color): Depreciation status or total cost comparisons.
