How to create formulas when multiple rules are involved?

Vivien Chong

Hi I am trying to build the following:

There are 5 criteria that will indicate the Project Health Status.

The Health Status will be base on the following rules:

1) Green: 4 indicators or more in “Green”, none in “RED”.

2) Yellow: None in “Red”, with less than 4 indicators in "Green".

3) Red: One or more indicators are in “Red”.

Anyone has any idea how can I arrive at the above rules with formula?

I can only come out with the 3rd logic: If any is "Red", then "Red".

But the other 2 logics has 2 rules to it.

Any assistance would be appreciated.

Thank you!

Hi @Vivien Chong 

Hope you are fine, please try the following formula and convert it to column format formula:

=IF(AND(COUNTIFS([Criteria 1]@row:[Criteria 5]@row, "Green") >= 4, COUNTIFS([Criteria 1]@row:[Criteria 5]@row, "Red") = 0), "Green", IF(AND(COUNTIFS([Criteria 1]@row:[Criteria 5]@row, "Green") < 4, COUNTIFS([Criteria 1]@row:[Criteria 5]@row, "Red") = 0), "Yellow", "Red"))

the following screenshot shows the result
