Table Structures & Column Definitions

The main data structure is defined in the Maintenance Log Entries sheet, which contains a relational table with the following columns:

Column Name	Data Type	Description & Constraints
Entry ID	Auto-number (Serial)	Unique identifier for each maintenance entry. Auto-incremented using Excel’s built-in sequence or formula (e.g., =ROW()-1).
Date	Date	Actual date of maintenance activity. Must be in valid date format (YYYY-MM-DD). Formatted as "DD/MM/YYYY".
Task Description	Text (up to 255 characters)	Short and descriptive title of the maintenance work. Example: "Replace HVAC filter – Unit 3".
Type	Dropdown (Preventive, Corrective, Emergency, Planned)	Classifies the nature of the task. Dropdown list ensures consistency and enables filtering.
Equipment / Asset ID	Text (up to 50 characters)	Unique identifier for the asset being maintained (e.g., "MTR-042", "FAN-17").
Duration (Minutes)	Number	Time spent on task in minutes. Must be positive and non-null. Formatted as number with zero decimals.
Assigned To	Text (up to 50 characters)	Name of personnel responsible for the task. Can include team members or supervisors.
Status	Dropdown (Completed, In Progress, Deferred, Cancelled)	Tracks progress. Automatically updates based on task completion.
Priority Level	Dropdown (Low, Medium, High, Critical)	Reflects urgency and impact on operations. Used for time prioritization in scheduling.

Formulas Required

Total Monthly Duration: In the "Time Management Summary" sheet, use `=SUMIF(Maintenance_Log!D:D,"Preventive",Maintenance_Log!E:E)` to sum time spent on preventive maintenance.
Average Task Duration: `=AVERAGEIF(Maintenance_Log!E:E,">0")` in the "Time Allocation by Task Type" sheet.
Task Completion Rate: `=COUNTIF(Maintenance_Log!H:H,"Completed") / COUNTA(Maintenance_Log!H:H)` to calculate percentage completion.
Time by Priority Level: Use `=SUMIFS(Maintenance_Log!E:E, Maintenance_Log!I:I, "High")` to filter high-priority tasks.
Auto-Date Validation: Use Data Validation in Excel to restrict dates between the first and last day of the month.

Conditional Formatting Rules

High Priority Tasks (Red Highlight): Apply red fill when "Priority Level" = "Critical" or "High".
Emergency Tasks (Yellow Border): When Task Type is “Emergency”, add yellow border and bold font.
Over 60-Minute Tasks (Orange Background): Highlight any entry with Duration > 60 minutes in orange for attention.
Status Progress Bars: Use conditional formatting to create a horizontal bar indicating completion status based on Status field (e.g., "Completed" = full bar, "Deferred" = 20%).
