- **Avg. Sales Per Asset (Monthly)**: `=IF(COUNTIF(AssetsTracker!F:F, "Active") > 0, AVERAGEIFS(AssetsTracker!E:E, AssetsTracker!F:F, "Active"), 0)` - **Forecasted Units Sold**: `=ROUND(AVERAGEIFS('Sales History'!B:B, 'Sales History'!A:A, "<="&EOMONTH(TODAY(), -1), 'Sales History'!A:A, ">="&EOMONTH(TODAY(), -3)) * Active Assets Count, 0)` - **Total Forecast Revenue**: `=Forecasted Units Sold * Avg. Sales Per Asset (Monthly)` - **Active Assets Count**: `=COUNTIF(AssetsTracker!F:F, "Active")` - **Utilization Rate (%)**: `=IF(Active Assets Count > 0, COUNTIFS(AssetsTracker!G:G, "<"&TODAY(), AssetsTracker!F:F, "Active") / Active Assets Count * 100, 0)`Conditional Formatting
- **Assets Tracker**: - Highlight “Under Maintenance” and “Decommissioned” rows in red. - Highlight assets with last used >90 days ago in yellow (idle alert). - **Sales Forecast**: - If forecasted revenue is < $10,000, apply light red fill. - If utilization rate < 50%, highlight the cell orange to flag underuse.User Instructions
1. **Add Assets**: Enter each asset in the "Assets Tracker" sheet using unique IDs and correct statuses. 2. **Update Statuses**: Regularly update “Status” and “Last Used” dates to reflect real-world conditions. 3. **Forecast Setup**: In "Sales Forecast", the template auto-populates future months (e.g., next 12 months). You may adjust forecasted units manually if market conditions change. 4. **Review Dashboard**: Check the charts monthly to monitor trends in asset usage and forecast accuracy. 5. **Compare with Actuals**: Once a month, add actual sales data to a "Sales History" sheet (not included but recommended) for accuracy feedback.Example Rows
