GENERAL
Problem: Function not detecting the output from a series of functions.
Question: Is there a way to fix?

Data Sheet:
I’ve only included the necessary columns. Don’t worry about what is in I, J, or F because they don’t affect what’s going on. The three highlighted columns have formulas.
A1 | B | C | E | G | H | J | K | L | M | |
2 | LAST | FIRST | STATUS | HIRED | ELIGIBLE | RECEIVED | EFFECTIVE | WITHDRAWN | LOA | COMMENT |
3 | Holder | Bill | Active | 7/2/2018 | 9/30/2018 | 9/30/2018 | ||||
4 | Smith | John | Withdrawn | 12/9/2019 | ||||||
5 | Howard | Jamie | Processing | 8/12/2019 | 11/10/2019 | 12/25/2019 | 12/25/2019 | |||
6 | Lee | Paris | Processing | |||||||
7 | Steward | Tucker | LOA | 9/22/2018 |
Column reliance:
H -> G
K -> J and H
E -> L, M, and K
Formulas:
H3=IF(G3>0.01,G3+90," ")
K3==IF(J3>=H3, J3, H3)
E3=IF(L3>0.01,"Withdrawn",IF(M3>0.01,"LOA",IF(K3>TODAY(),"Processing","Active")))
Explanation:
The equation in column E is not properly reading column K. It will only read K if J is filled or G and H are filled.
If H outputs a date instead of “ “ it will still not work.
If H outputs “1” or date instead of a “ “ it will still not work.
