FILTERS, FORMULAS, AND AUTOMATION
Auto-Generated Asset ID: Formula in "Asset ID" column: =IF(A2="","",CONCATENATE("STU-",TEXT(COUNTA($A$2:$A$1000)+1,"000")))
Auto-Update Last Updated: In "Last Updated" column: =IF(OR(B2="",C2="",D2=""),"",TODAY())
Status Color Coding: Conditional formatting based on status values.
Overdue Alerts: Formula to flag assets with "Due Date" before today: =AND(DueDate"Completed")
Total Assets by Status: In the Dashboard, use formulas like: =COUNTIF(StatusRange,"Completed")
CONDITIONAL FORMATTING RULES (Dashboard & Assets)
Status Highlighting: Apply color scale to "Status" column — Green for "Completed", Yellow for "In Progress", Red for "Overdue".
Due Date Alerts: Use conditional formatting with formula: =AND(DueDate"Completed") to highlight overdue assets in red.
Last Updated: Highlight entries updated in the last 7 days with light green.
Missing Information: If "Assigned To" or "Location" is blank, apply warning color (orange).
USER INSTRUCTIONS

Add new assets: Click any cell in the "Assets" sheet and enter data. The Asset ID auto-generates based on row count.
Update status: Use the dropdowns to update each asset’s status — changes will trigger automatic date updates.
Log changes: Go to the "Progress" sheet and record every modification, milestone, or revision for auditability.
Assign responsibilities: In "Assigned To," type the name of team members involved in each asset's lifecycle.
Review dashboard: The main dashboard provides real-time visuals of asset completion rates and overdue items.
