- KPI Metrics: Total Equipment Count, Operational vs. Non-Operational Ratio, Average Age of Equipment (calculated via formula), Warranty Expiry Alerts (items expiring in next 90 days).
- Data Validation: All inputs use data validation to prevent errors.
- Dynamic Filtering: Use slicers for Type, Status, and Location to interactively filter dashboard views.
Sheet 4: Inventory Summary & Export
A clean export-ready summary of the inventory with filters and sorting options for printing or sharing.
Formulas & Automation
The template uses several dynamic formulas to maintain accuracy:
- Next Maintenance Due (in Equipment Master List):
=IF(ISBLANK([@LastMaintenanceDate]), "", [@[LastMaintenanceDate]] + 365) - Total Equipment Count:
=COUNTA(EquipmentMasterList[Equipment ID]) - Operational Items:
=COUNTIF(EquipmentMasterList[Status], "Operational") - Average Age (in days):
=AVERAGE(IF(EquipmentMasterList[Date Acquired]<>"", TODAY() - EquipmentMasterList[Date Acquired]))(Array formula)
Conditional Formatting
To enhance readability and highlight critical statuses:
- Warranty Expiry (within 90 days): Highlight cell red if Warranty Expiry Date is within 90 days.
- Status Column: Color-code cells: Green = Operational, Yellow = Under Repair, Red = Lost/Damaged.
- Maintenance Due: If Next Maintenance Due is before today’s date and Last Maintenance Date exists, flag in orange.
