Formula help to return differnt conditions

Options

Hi

I am after help in developing a formula to look for certain conditions. I require the highlighted cell in blue perimeter to record certain condition if a condition is true from the 5 cells below.


If all cells return Completed then return "Completed"

If all cells return Not Started, then Return "Not Started"

If all cells return mixed conditions, then return "In Progress"


I have the following fields within the column as dropdowns.


Not Started

In Progress

Waiting For Checks

Checks in Progress

Completed

    Hi @David Clunie ,

    You may need to adjust this based on where you're placing the formula and how many rows are below it, but it will give you the general idea:

    =IF(COUNTIF(staus2:status6, "Complete")=5, "Complete", IF(COUNTIF(staus2:status6, "Not Started")=5, "Not Started", "In Progress"))

    Work?
