Redefine a formula for status and date

Changes needed to my current formula. There is just too much going on, I want to simplify this. My current formula in the "Certification Complete" is below. Now I also wish to change these colors to words:
Green - Complete
Yellow - In Progress
Red - Not Started
In addition I want the Certificate date field to be automated based on when the Certification Complete field is changed to Complete. Otherwise the date field will remain blank. Now the IF statements referencing the other fields must remain, as they will indicate "In Progress" or "Not Started" for the record.
=IF(Parent@row, IF(COUNTIF(CHILDREN(), "Red") = COUNT(CHILDREN()), "Red", IF(COUNTIF(CHILDREN(), "Green") = COUNT(CHILDREN()), "Green", "Yellow")), IF(AND(ISBLANK(Certify@row), ISBLANK(Group@row)), "Red", IF(AND(Certify@row = "Revoke", OR(ISBLANK(Comments@row), ISBLANK(Group@row))), "Yellow", IF(OR(ISBLANK(Certify@row), ISBLANK(Group@row)), "Yellow", "Green"))))

To change the colors to words, all you should need to do is replace each color's text in the formula with the word you want output.
The [Certification Date] can be automated using a Record a Date automation.

Yes, Exactly what I needed. I was trying to overcomplicate it. Date workflow is set-up. Thanks!
