    Hi Mario,


    At first glance, I see what may be an issue with some parenthesis and commas. Try this:

    =IFERROR(IF(OR([BSS approval]@row = "Rejected" , [Function Head Decision]@row = "Rejected"), "Rejected", IF(OR([BSS approval]@row = "Submitted" , [Function Head Decision]@row = "Submitted"), "Waiting For Approval", IF(OR([BSS approval]@row = "Approved" , [Function Head Decision]@row = "Approved"), "Approved"))),"")

    Let me know if it works!


    Best,

    Heather
