    Hi @Maryjo Reyes

    Hope you are fine, do you mean that you want the latest status to be displayed in the current status column, for example in row 1 = Payment Received because it's the latest status. if this is what you mean please use the following formula:

    current status = if(ISDATE([Date Payment Received]@row), [Status 5]@row, if(ISDATE([Date Approved ACCNT]@row), [Status 4]@row,if(ISDATE([Date Approved BD]@row), [Status 3]@row,if(ISDATE([Date Approved CPCAD]@row), [Status 2]@row,if(ISDATE([Date Approved PDMG]@row), [Status 1]@row,""))))))
