Formulas Required

The following formulas are implemented to ensure dynamic updating across sheets: - **Total Equipment Count** (in Summary Dashboard): `=COUNTA('Equipment Inventory'!A:A) - 1` (excludes header row) - **Available Equipment**: `=COUNTIF('Equipment Inventory'!F:F, "Available")` - **In Use Equipment**: `=COUNTIF('Equipment Inventory'!F:F, "In Use")` - **Total Value by Status**: Using SUMIFS: `=SUMIFS('Equipment Inventory'!J:J, 'Equipment Inventory'!F:F, "Available")` (Repeat for other statuses.) - **Dynamic Category Count**: `=COUNTIF('Equipment Inventory'!C:C, "Hardware")` (for each category) - **Conditional Logic in Usage Log**: `=IF(Actual Return Date="", IF(TODAY() > Expected Return Date, "Late", "On Time"), IF(TODAY() <= Actual Return Date, "On Time", "Late"))`

Conditional Formatting

The template uses conditional formatting to improve readability and highlight critical statuses: - **Status Column (Equipment Inventory)**: - Green for “Available” - Orange for “In Use” - Red for “Under Repair”, “Lost/Stolen” - **Condition Rating (1–5)**: - Color scale from red (1) to green (5) - **Age of Equipment**: Highlight items acquired more than 3 years ago with yellow background.
