Nested AND OR IF function

I'm trying to get a result based on the data shown in three cells. These three cells have formulas in and are referencing fields from different sheets - each cell will either pull through as "pass", "fail" or blank. I'm trying to get a formula that will show "PASS" if ALL 3 cells say "Pass", "FAIL" if ANY of the 3 cells say "Fail" and (I've managed to get this so far, it's this last bit I get stuck on) if ALL of the cells are blank I want the result to be a blank cell.

So far I have: =IF(AND(D11="Pass",E11="Pass",F11="Pass"),"PASS",IF(OR(D11="Fail",E11="Fail",F11="Fail"),"FAIL",IF(AND(LEN(D11)=0,LEN(E11)=0,LEN(F11)=0),"","")))

The AND and the OR work well, but it's the last function. Maybe I need to change the order? Also I'm not sure what to put for 'FALSE" for the last function - it depends on the previous AND or OR result. Finally, I had tried ISBLANK but of course that didn't work as there is a formula in each cell, so I used LEN instead.

Any help appreciated!

Thank you! Then I want "PASS" - essentially, I want the blank cells ignored - if only one person has 'scored' then that's the only cell to matter. So there might be up to three responses, but might be only one or two.

...but as soon as any one person scores 'Fail" (no matter if there are 1, 2 or 3 people scoring) then the result MUST be 'FAIL" - "PASS" can only occur where there are only "Pass" (and blanks potentially)

Ok, how about
Excel Formula:
=IF(COUNTIFS(D11:F11,"Fail"),"Fail",IF(COUNTIFS(D11:F11,"Pass"),"Pass",""))
