Approval Status formula with either 3 of 3 Approvals or 1 of 3 Approvals

I am wondering if its possible to have an Approval Status for different groups of Approvers. Details below

-Approvers 1-3 will require all 3 approvers, change status to "Ready to Create"

-Approvers 4-6 will require 1 approver, change status to "Ready to Create"

-If any 6 Deny the request, change status to "Denied"

I've been trying a few different IF statements, but I'm stumped.

Any help would be appreciated!

    Try something like this...

    =IF(COUNTIFS([Approval1]@row:[Approval6]@row, @cell = "Denied")> 0, "Denied", IF(OR(COUNTIFS([Approval1]@row:[Approval3]@row, @cell = "Approved") = 3, COUNTIFS([Approval4]@row:[Approval6]@row, @cell = "Approved")> 0), "Ready To Create", "Pending"))
