Data Types and Formulas Required

All columns are designed with appropriate data types to ensure accuracy:

Key Formulas:

To enhance visibility and alert users to issues, the following conditional formatting rules are applied:

• Red highlight: If "Condition Rating" ≤ 3 or "Maintenance Required" = TRUE.
• Yellow background: If "Usage Hours" exceeds 200 hours per week (indicating overuse).
• Green shading: For assets with a condition rating of 4 or 5 and no maintenance flags.
• Text color change: In the "Status Update" column, red text if issue is noted; green for normal operations.
