Sheet Names

• Assets Overview: Summary sheet with total counts, categories, and status metrics.
• Weekly Asset Log: Daily or weekly input sheet where new assets are added or existing ones updated.
• Category Summary: Aggregates data by category (e.g., Electronics, Furniture, Books) with visual insights.
• Due & Maintenance Alerts: Tracks maintenance schedules and due dates for physical assets.
• Dashboard: A high-level view showing key metrics like asset count trends, category distribution, and overdue items.

Table Structures and Columns

The core data structure is centered around the Weekly Asset Log, which contains a structured table with the following columns:

All data types are clearly defined:

• ID: Auto-incrementing numeric identifier (using Excel's autofill or VBA).
• Name: Text field for descriptive asset name.
• Type and Category: Categorical fields to support filtering and reporting.
• Purchase Date, Due Dates, Last Maintenance Date: Date data types with proper formatting.
• Costs: Currency values formatted as $X.XX.
• Status: Drop-down list with predefined options (e.g., In Use, Unused, Out of Order).

Formulas Required

The template leverages several Excel formulas to maintain accuracy and provide insights:

• =COUNTA($B$2:$B$100): Counts total number of assets in the log.
• =SUMIF(C:C,"Electronics",D:D): Calculates total cost of all electronics.
• =NETWORKDAYS(A2, B2): Computes days between purchase and current date for age tracking.
• =IF(DATEVALUE(TODAY())>E2, "Overdue", ""): Flags maintenance due dates that have passed.
• =VLOOKUP(ID, Category_Master, 2, FALSE): Maps asset IDs to category names in a master table (for dynamic updates).
• =IF(ISBLANK(F2),"No Cost", F2): Ensures cost fields are validated.

Conditional Formatting

To improve visibility and user engagement, conditional formatting is applied:

• Red highlight for overdue maintenance: When due date is in the past.
• Green highlight for active/in-use items: Items marked "In Use" or recently used.
• Yellow background for unused assets: Flagging underutilized items to prompt review.
• Daily trend arrows in Dashboard: Uses color-coded icons (↑/↓) to show weekly asset growth or decline.
