    Formula to reflect 'highest/lowest' value from a range of cells containing text values.

    Hello,
    Please see the attached spreadsheet.

    I would like the values in C2, C5, and C12 to evaluate the values in C3-4, C6-11, and C13-16 respectively.

    For example C2 should evaluate C3 & C4:
    If allvalues = 'Complete' then the value in C2 should be 'Complete'.
    If any of the values = 'In Progress' then the value in C2 should be 'In Progress'
    If all of the values = 'Not Started' then the value in C2 should be 'Not Started'.

    I don't know what formula to use (if there is one).

    Thank you.

    Hi,

    What should the result be if you have a mixture of "Complete" and "Not Started" within the range, but no "In Progress"?

    Great question, in that instance it should still be 'in Progress'.

    In C2:

    =LOOKUP(1,0/(MMULT({1,-1},COUNTIF(C3:INDEX(C3:C$100,AGGREGATE(15,6,CHOOSE({1,2},MATCH("*",A3:A$100,0),MATCH("Ω",B3:B$100))-{1,0},1)),CHOOSE({1;2},"?*",{"?*","C*","N*"})))=0),{"In Progress","Complete","Not Started"})

    Copy to other relevant cells within that column.

    Assumes that all tasks will have a (non-blank) status.

    Regards
