3. Pre-Built Formulas & Calculation Logic

Target Cell	Formula	Purpose
Subtotal	`=F2*G2`	Multiplies hours by labor rate.
Net Total	`=H2-I2`	Subtracts tax/discounts from subtotal.
KPI: Total Spend	`=SUM(J2:J100)`	Calculates aggregate maintenance spend.
KPI: Status Count	`=COUNTIF(K2:K100, "Open")`	Identifies backlog of active maintenance.
KPI: Efficiency	`=AVERAGEIF(K2:K100, "Closed", F2:F100)`	Tracks average hours per closed job.

4. Data Dictionary & Dropdown Validation Rules

Column	Data Format	Required	Dropdown/Validation List
Category	Text	Yes	Mechanical, Electrical, HVAC, IT, Automotive, Facility
Status	Text	Yes	Open, In-Progress, Closed, Cancelled
Owner	Text	Yes	J. Doe, S. Smith, M. Ray, B. Liu
Units/Hours	Number	Yes	Decimals allowed (0.1 to 100.0)

5. Summary KPI Dashboard

Metric	Target	Amber Trigger	Red Trigger
Open Maintenance	< 3	3 - 5	> 5
Budget Variance	Under Budget	At Budget	Over Budget
Avg. Service Time	< 2 Hours	2 - 4 Hours	> 4 Hours

Conditional Formatting Rules:
- Red: =$K2="Open" (Set cell background light red)
- Green: =$K2="Closed" (Set cell background light green)

6. Setup & Export Guide

Preparation: Copy the Markdown table above into a text editor, save as Maintenance_Master.csv.
