Help with a Harvey Ball formula

Hello everyone who's smarter than me: I need a formula to result in the following:

Field empty if no start date listed

Green ball if complete, regardless of start date

Yellow ball if not complete and start date is within the next week

Red ball if not complete and start date is in the past

Gray ball if start date is more than one week away.

Here are my column names:

    Hi @Beth Fantozzi 1

    This should work for you

    =IF(ISBLANK([Start date]@row), "", IF(Status@row = "Complete", "Green", IF(AND(NOT(Status@row = "Complete"), TODAY() > [Start date]@row), "Red", IF(AND(NOT(Status@row = "Complete"), TODAY() > [Start date]@row - 7), "Yellow", IF(TODAY() + 7 <= [Start date]@row, "Gray", "Error")))))

    Tested as below and working.

    Hope that helps

    Thanks

    Paul
