    Assuming that you want the formula to look at "Form Intake Status" and "Edge Case Status" AND there is no preference for one over the other, and then transfer A NON-BLANK value into "Exclusion Status", then a formula to do that is:

    = IF( [Form Intake Status]@row<>"", [Form Intake Status]@row, IF([Edge Case Status]@row<>"", [Edge Case Status]@row, ""))

    EXPLANTION: If [Form Intake Status]@row IS NOT blank, then use that value; ELSE if [Edge Case Status]@row is not blank then use that value, ELSE use blank.
