=DATEDIF([@Last_Maintenance_Date], TODAY(), "d") → Days since last maintenance (used in Status column).
=IF([@Days_Since_Last_Maint] > [@Maintenance_Interval_Days], "Overdue", IF([@Days_Since_Last_Maint] >= ([@Maintenance_Interval_Days]*0.8), "Due Soon", "OK")) → Auto-updates asset status.

At the start of each week, users should open the template and:

Fill in all travel plans under Weekly_Travel_Log, selecting from dropdowns where applicable.
After each trip, update Mileage_End, Expenses_Amount, Notes, and flag if maintenance is required.
If maintenance is flagged as "Yes", record the action in the Maintenance_History sheet with date, cost, service provider, and parts replaced.
The Dashboard auto-updates to show total trips per person, expense trends, asset status summary, and upcoming due services.
Review the Dashboard every Friday before closing the week. Export or print for team meetings if needed.
