- Equipment Master List: A reference sheet containing details about each piece of equipment, used to populate dropdowns in the Maintenance Log.

- Auto-fill Equipment Name: In the Maintenance Log, cell C2 uses:
=IFERROR(VLOOKUP(B2, 'Equipment Master List'!$A$2:$F$100, 2, FALSE), "") - Auto-calculate Next Due Date: In column J (Next Due Date), use:
=IF(E2="Scheduled", IF(ISBLANK(A2), "", A2 + G2), IF(STATUS="Completed", A2 + G2, ""))
Where G2 contains the maintenance frequency from Equipment Master List. - Monthly Maintenance Count: In Dashboard sheet, use:

- Overdue Maintenance: Apply red fill to rows where
Date of Maintenance + Maintenance Frequency < TODAY()and status is not "Completed". - High Cost Items: Highlight cells in the 'Cost Incurred' column where values exceed £500 with a yellow background.
