I want to update a cell if any of the cells in a certain range of cells equals a certain text.
If ANY cells in Status3- Status7 = In Progress then I want Status2 to equal "In Progress, If ALL cells in Status3-Status7 = Complete then I want status2 to equal "Complete"

@Eid E. Eid You are going to want to check your square brackets. The formula you provided would most likely throw an #UNPARSEABLE error.
@Danielle Maroon Andree's solution should work for you. My own personal take on it though would be:
=IF(CONTAINS("In Progress", CHILDREN()), "In Progress", IF(CONTAINS("Not Started", CHILDREN()), "Not Started", "Complete"))

try something like this :
=IF(OR([Status3]="In Progress",[Status4]="In Progress",[Status5]="In Progress",[Status6]="In Progress",[Status7]="In Progress"),"In Progress",IF(AND([Status3]="Complete",[Status4]="Complete",[Status5]="Complete",[Status6]="Complete",[Status7]="Complete"),"Complete","")

Hi Danielle,
I'm guessing that you're using Parent/Children hierarchy.
Try something like this.
What do you want to show if one cell is complete? Should it be In Progress then maybe?
=IF(COUNTIF(CHILDREN(); "In Progress") > 0; "In Progress"; IF(COUNTIF(CHILDREN(); "") > 0; ""; IF(COUNT(CHILDREN()) = COUNTIF(CHILDREN(); "Complete"); "Complete")))
The same version but with the below changes for convenience.
=IF(COUNTIF(CHILDREN(), "In Progress") > 0, "In Progress", IF(COUNTIF(CHILDREN(), "") > 0, "", IF(COUNT(CHILDREN()) = COUNTIF(CHILDREN(), "Complete"), "Complete")))
Depending on your country/region, you'll need to exchange the comma to a period and the semi-colon to a comma.
Would that work?
I hope that helps!
Be safe and have a fantastic week!
