=MAX(0, [@Estimated Useful Life (Years)] - ((TODAY() - [@Purchase Date]) / 365.25)) - Depreciation Value per Quarter:
=IF([@Depreciation Method]="Straight-Line", ([@Book Value (USD)] / [@Estimated Useful Life (Years)]) / 4, IF([@Depreciation Method]="Double-Declining Balance", ([@Book Value (USD)] * 2 / [@Estimated Useful Life (Years)]) / 4, 0)) - Asset Health Score:
=IF(ISBLANK([@Next Due Service Date]), "Red", IF([@Next Due Service Date] - TODAY() <= 30, "Yellow", "Green")) - Total Maintenance Cost (Quarterly): Use SUMIFS to aggregate costs from the Maintenance Log by Quarter and Department.
