Column Definitions
- Vehicle ID: [Alphanumeric] Unique identifier for the asset.
- Make/Model: [Text] Manufacturer and specific model designation.
- Current Odometer: [Number] Current mileage reading; update manually or via API sync.

- Status: [Dropdown] Select from: "Active", "Pending", "Overdue", "Out of Service".
Formulas
Service Alert (Status Logic): Place this in the "Status" column (assuming column C is Current Odometer and E is Next Service Due):
=IF(C2>=E2, "Overdue", IF(E2-C2<500, "Pending", "Active"))
Days Since Last Service: Calculate how long a vehicle has been on the road since its last shop visit:
=DATEDIF(D2, TODAY(), "d")
Conditional Formatting & Data Validation
- Overdue Highlight: Apply conditional formatting to the "Status" column. If the cell contains the text "Overdue", set the background to light red and font to bold red.
- Service Threshold: Apply a "Color Scale" conditional format to the "Current Odometer" column where values approaching the "Next Service Due" value shift from green to yellow.
- Data Validation: On the "Status" column, use Data Validation to create a dropdown list containing:
Active, Pending, Overdue, Out of Service.
