Equipment Master List

Performance Logs

Formulas Required

The template uses a combination of built-in Excel formulas to ensure accuracy and automation:

• =TODAY(): Automatically populates current date in logs.
• =IF(DATEVALUE("Today") - D3 > (12 * 365), "Maintenance Due", ""): Flags equipment approaching end of lifespan or needing servicing.
• =SUMIFS(HourRange!C:C, HourRange!B:B, A2): Calculates total operational hours per asset.
• =IF(C2 > D2, "High Downtime", IF(C2 > 0.5, "Moderate", "Low")): Categorizes performance based on downtime ratio.
• =AVERAGEIFS(B:B, C:C, "Milling"): Averages operational hours across a specific equipment type.

Conditional Formatting Rules

To improve readability and alert users to critical issues:

• Downtime > 1 hour → Red background in Performance Logs.
