Formatting & Validation Rules

1. Data Validation (Dropdowns): Apply to the "Service Provider" column using a list range to ensure consistent naming of [Service Shop 1], [Service Shop 2], and [Internal Maintenance].
2. Conditional Formatting (Alerts): Apply a "Cell Value > 500" rule to the "Cost ($)" column to highlight high-expenditure repairs in light red.
3. Conditional Formatting (Status): Apply a "Text contains" rule to the Status column (if using the overdue formula above) to turn cells red if they display "OVERDUE".
