Data Types and Formulas Required

Date Data Type: All dates (acquisition, start/end) are formatted as "Date" in Excel to ensure proper sorting and filtering.
Text Data Type: Descriptions, types, departments, and names use standard text formatting with automatic capitalization rules applied via formulas when needed.
Number Data Type: Monetary values are formatted as currency ($).

Formulas Used:

=IF(Assets!Status="Out of Service", "⚠️ Out of Service", "✔️ In Use") – Dynamically highlights asset status in the master sheet.
=VLOOKUP(A2, ProjectAssignments!A:B, 2, FALSE) – Pulls project name based on Asset ID for quick reference.
=DATEDIF(AcquisitionDate, TODAY(), "y") – Calculates asset age in years (used in dashboard).
=SUMIFS(Assets!Value, Assets!Status, "In Use") – Total value of currently used assets.
=COUNTIFS(ProjectAssignments!Project Name, "On Track") – Tracks number of projects on schedule.

Conditional Formatting Rules

Status Highlighting: Cells with "Out of Service" are formatted in red; "In Use" in green.
Asset Age: If asset age > 5 years, background turns yellow (warning).
Project Delay Detection: Any project with a current date beyond its end date is highlighted in orange and marked with a red warning icon.
Maintenance Log Flagging: If "Action Type" is "Maintained", the row turns light blue.
