I am trying to create a project rollup cell based on the values of the values of the subtasks under the main task. The formula I'm using is:

=IF(ISTEXT(MATCH("Need Help",$F3:$F7)),"Need Help",IF(MATCH("Some Issues",$F3:$F7),"Some Issues",IF(MATCH("On Track",$F3:$F7),"WTF?")))

My data set contains all three responses. The result I'm getting is "Some Issues". I would have expected that the "Need Help" would solve first and that would be the answer. Any suggestions?

Thanks in advance for any assistance!

That's on me. Forgot the match style deliminator, so it was default to "1" which is a similiar match. Try this:

=IF(ISNUMBER(MATCH("Need Help",$F3:$F7,0)),"Need Help",IF(ISNUMBER(MATCH("Some Issues",$F3:$F7,0)),"Some Issues",IF(ISNUMBER(MATCH("On Track",$F3:$F7,0)),"On Track", "No Match")))

Works like a champ now. Thank you! :)
