I believe I need help with an IF OR formula

I am trying to create a formula where my swimlane shows as complete if the completion is complete, but if a project is in progress but the status is still green, I want it to show as On Target. How do I make my formula so that green is On Target unless it is marked as complete, in that case it would be called complete. Here is my current formula:

=IF(Status@row = "Red", "High Risk", IF(Status@row = "Yellow", "Medium Risk", IF(Status@row = "Green", "On Target", IF(Complete@row = "Complete", "Complete", IF(Complete@row = "Not Started", "Not Started")))))

    The IF/Then formula will stop at the first true answer. I would start by moving your last two arguments to the front like this and see if this gives you the right results:

    =IF(Complete@row = "Complete", "Complete", IF(Complete@row = "Not Started", "Not Started", IF(Status@row = "Red", "High Risk", IF(Status@row = "Yellow", "Medium Risk", IF(Status@row = "Green", "On Target"
