Formula Needed for Parent to Inherit Child Value

I don't think this is possible, but I need a formula where a parent row Status value reads "No Active Projects" until it has a child row below it with an "In Progress" status at which point the cell should just be blank. See image below.

I use the "No Active Projects" marker to determine whether or not that department title pushes to a dashboard report. Right now, we have to manually remember to change the value when the first child row turns to "In Progress", but it would be nice if a formula could adjust the value based on the child statuses.
