Formulas & Automation Features
The template incorporates a variety of Excel formulas to ensure accuracy and reduce manual input:- Asset ID Auto-Generator: =TEXT(COUNTA(A:A)+1,"0000") applied in cell A2, with dynamic formula in subsequent rows.
- Maintenance Due (Next): =IF([@Status]="Under Maintenance", TODAY(), [Last Maintenance Date]+[Interval])
- Remaining Warranty Days: =MAX(0, [Warranty Expiry] – TODAY()) → displays negative if expired.
- Depreciation Calculation: =[@Purchase Cost] – ((YEAR(TODAY()) – YEAR([@Purchase Date])) * ([@Purchase Cost]/[@Estimated Useful Life]))
- Status Color Logic: Conditional formatting uses formulas to highlight status changes.
Conditional Formatting Rules
Advanced conditional formatting enhances data readability and alerts users to critical issues:- Warranty Expiry within 30 days: Highlight cells in red with yellow border if remaining days ≤ 30.
