Formulas Required

The template leverages several built-in Excel formulas for dynamic data analysis:

• IF() & VLOOKUP(): To determine equipment status based on next service date (e.g., "Maintenance Due" if today > next service date).
• ROUND() / AVERAGEIFS(): To calculate productivity index and average performance rating per week/month.
• TODAY(): Automatically populates the current date in logs and performance tracking.

Conditional Formatting Rules

To enhance visual feedback and user awareness, conditional formatting is applied across key fields:

• Red fill when downtime exceeds 3 hours per day or performance rating drops below 3.
• Yellow highlight when next service date is within the next 7 days.
• Green background for equipment with zero downtime and a performance rating of 4–5.
• Bold text in "Status" column for "Out of Service" or "Maintenance Required".
• Color scales applied to the Productivity Index and Hours Used columns to show trends.
