Table Structures and Column Definitions

The Main Asset Register serves as the central table. It features a relational structure that supports scalability and searchability:

All columns are designed with appropriate data types:

• ID: Text (Auto-incremented via Excel formula)
• Name: Text (required, unique)
• Category & Subcategory: Dropdown lists with predefined values from the Categories sheet
• Acquisition Date: Date data type for accurate timeline analysis
• Value & Purchase Price: Currency format with 2 decimal places
• Status: Text with defined options (e.g., Active, In Use, Disposed, Lost)
• Condition Rating: Numeric (1–5), used for sorting and color-coding
• Notes: Free-text field for detailed observations or reminders.

Formulas Required

The template uses powerful Excel formulas to automate critical functions:

• =IF(AND([Status]="Disposed", [Current Value]<>0), "Disposal Recorded", ""): Flags disposed assets with value.
• =DATEDIF([Acquisition Date], TODAY(), "Y"): Calculates age of asset in years for aging analysis.
• =SUMIFS(Current Value, Status, "In Use"): Totals current value of actively used assets.
• =AVERAGEIF(Condition Rating, ">3", Condition Rating): Computes average condition rating for quality assessment.
• =COUNTIFS(Status,"Active", [Acquisition Date], "<"&TODAY()-365): Counts outdated (over a year old) active assets.

Conditional Formatting

To enhance visual organization, the template applies conditional formatting based on key indicators:

• Condition Rating (1–5): Red for 1, Yellow for 2–3, Green for 4–5.
• Status: Highlight "Disposed" in gray and "In Use" in blue to distinguish active vs. inactive assets.
• Aging: Assets over 5 years are shaded light orange with a warning icon.
• Maintenance Due: Any asset with a maintenance schedule that is within 30 days of today appears in amber.
