Formulas Required for Productivity Improvement

• Auto-increment Asset ID: Use `=IF(LEN(A2)=0,"",A1+1)` in column A with data validation.
• Status Alerts: In “Status” column, use conditional formatting to highlight red for “Out of Service” and yellow for “Inactive”.
• Warranty Expiry Warning: Use formula `=IF(W2
• Total Active Assets: In summary sheet: `=COUNTIFS(Status!Status, "Active")`
• Productivity Score (Optional): Calculate efficiency via `(Total Usage Days / Total Asset Age)` to assess utilization and productivity gains.

Conditional Formatting Rules

• Status Column: Red if status is "Out of Service", Yellow if "Inactive" (improves visibility for urgent issues).
• Warranty Expiry Date: Green if > 90 days remaining, Yellow if 30–90 days, Red below 30.
• Last Maintenance: Highlight in gray if more than 180 days since last maintenance to identify under-maintained assets.
• Asset Usage Trends: Apply color scales in the Usage Log by date to visualize frequency of use.
