Formulas Required
- In the "Travel Itinerary" sheet:
=SUM(Mileage End - Mileage Start)to calculate trip distance per row.=DATEDIF(Departure Date, Return Date, "d")for accurate days of travel.
- In the "Maintenance Log" sheet:
=VLOOKUP(Vehicle/Equipment, Vehicles & Equipment!A:F, 5, FALSE)to auto-populate recommended service intervals based on asset type.=IF(AND(Mileage at Service >= Next Service Due (Miles), Status = "Completed"), "Overdue", IF(Mileage at Service < Next Service Due (Miles), "On Schedule", ""))to flag compliance status.
- In the "Dashboard" sheet:
=COUNTIFS(Travel Itinerary!$J:$J, "Completed")– Total completed trips.=SUMIFS(Maintenance Log!$F:$F, Maintenance Log!$C:$C, "Oil Change")– Total spent on oil changes.=AVERAGE(Travel Itinerary!K:K)– Average trip duration.=MAX(Maintenance Log!H:H)-TODAY()to show days until next due service.
Conditional Formatting
- Maintenance Log - Status Column: Red if "Overdue", Green if "On Schedule", Yellow if within 10% of threshold.
- Travel Itinerary - Status Column: Gray for Cancelled, Orange for Delayed.
- Mileage at Service (Maintenance Log): Highlight cells in red if mileage exceeds manufacturer-recommended interval by more than 20%.

- For each trip, enter details in “Travel Itinerary.” The system will auto-calculate distance and duration.
- After any maintenance activity, record it in “Maintenance Log,” selecting the vehicle from the dropdown. The template automatically calculates if maintenance is overdue based on mileage and schedule.
- The “Dashboard” tab updates in real-time. Review weekly for trends: which vehicles require attention? Which routes generate highest costs? Are trips being completed on schedule?
- Use the “Maintenance Schedule” sheet to prepare ahead — it shows upcoming services 30, 60, and 90 days out.
- Export reports monthly using the “Reports” sheet. Save as PDF for compliance audits.
