The primary table is located on the Equipment List sheet and has the following structure: | Equipment ID | Item Name | Category | Quantity | Location | Status | Last Checked On | Assigned To (Trip) | |--------------|------------------|------------------|----------|-----------------|------------|-------------------|--------------------|Columns and Data Types
| Column | Data Type | Description | |--------|-----------|-------------| | Equipment ID | Text (Auto-generated) | Unique identifier (e.g., EQ001, EQ057). Uses a formula to auto-increment. | | Item Name | Text (Required) | Full name of the equipment item (e.g., "Headlamp", "First Aid Kit"). | | Category | Dropdown List (from Data Validation sheet) | Predefined categories like 'Clothing', 'Cooking Gear', 'Navigation Tools', etc. | | Quantity | Number (Integer, >=0) | Number of units available or required per trip. | | Location | Text/Freeform with dropdown options (via reference list) | Physical storage location (e.g., "Warehouse B", "Office Closet"). | | Status | Dropdown List: Available, In Use, Pending Repair, Out of Service | Shows current status for equipment. | | Last Checked On | Date (Date format) | Date the equipment was last inspected or maintained. | | Assigned To (Trip) | Text linked to Trip ID from Travel Trip Log sheet | Name or ID of the trip the item is assigned to. |Formulas Required
- Auto-incrementing Equipment ID:`=IF(A2="", "EQ" & TEXT(COUNTA(A:A), "000"), A2)` - Status Indicator (Color Coding):
Use conditional formatting rules to visually flag items based on status. - Count of Available Equipment:
On the Status Dashboard: `=COUNTIF(EquipmentList!F:F, "Available")` - Trips Using Equipment:
`=SUMIFS(TravelTripLog!D:D, TravelTripLog!C:C, "EQ001")` — counts how many trips have used a specific item. - Last Checked Aging:
`=IF(ISBLANK(G2), "Never Checked", IF(TODAY()-G2 > 90, "Overdue", "Recent"))`
Conditional Formatting
Implement the following rules for visual clarity: - **Status Column:** - Green: “Available” - Yellow: “In Use” - Red: “Pending Repair”, “Out of Service” - Orange: Items overdue for maintenance (last checked >90 days) - **Quantity Column:** Highlight in red if Quantity is zero or below threshold (set via user input on Dashboard). - **Last Checked On:** Flag cells with dates older than 90 days using a conditional rule.User Instructions
