Hi All,


I have 10 columns and 10 rows. The cells contain numbers 0-5 randomly, see a small 5X5 sample below:

Column AColumn BColumn CColumn DColumn EColumn F (Overall Status)
Row 112345Blocked
Row 201234Fail
Row 3 54321Blocked
Row 4 32102Fail
Row 544444Pass

The numbers represent the following:

  • 0 = Unexecuted
  • 1 = Fail
  • 2 = In Progress
  • 3 = In Review
  • 4 = Pass
  • 5 = Blocked
I want to create a column at the end that summarizes these statuses, Where if any row has the following:

  • If any row has a 5 the final status should be "Blocked"
  • If any row has no 5 but has a 1 (Fail) then final status should be "Fail"
  • If any row is All 4's (Passes) then the final status should be "Pass"
  • And so on..

I was trying to do a IF statement but miserably failing and unsure of how to do a IF function when it's considering all 10 columns. Also the the logic of which status should be the overall status as 'Blocked' and 'Fail' trump other statuses.
 

Excel Facts

Using Function Arguments with nested formulas
If writing INDEX in Func. Arguments, type MATCH(. Use the mouse to click inside MATCH in the formula bar. Dialog switches to MATCH.
I don't know what the and so on.. refers to, but with what you've given so far

=IF(COUNTIF(A2:E2,5),"Blocked",IF(COUNTIF(A2:E2,1),"Fail",IF(COUNTIF(A2:E2,4)=5,"Pass","")))
