4. How Do I Calculate Depreciation in the DataLog?

Calculating depreciation is a little different now than it was in the 2005 version. Originally, you entered the Age and Remaining Life values and the Physical Depreciation value automatically calculated. In the 2006 version, you must enter the Total Life value and the % Physical (Depreciation) value and the Effective Age and Remaining Life will adjust accordingly. You can see that the Effective Age and Remaining Life cells are locked because they are automatically filled.

A QUICK HINT: If you want the Functional and External Depreciation percentages to automatically adjust the Effective Age and Remaining Life, go to the menu Edit > Configuration > Math Settings and check all three boxes and then click on “OK”.
