    Question Working out RAG status based on 3 columns

    Trying to summarise the RAG status in one field but unsure how I do that

    Column D needs to make sure it groups Column A and then column B and then assign the lowest RAG from column C

    For example, For Workstream 1, 'Pilot' appears twice in column B with the lowest RAG status of Red. So Column D automatically needs to assign Red to Workstream 1, pilot sub workstream.

    If it is easier then RAG status could be assigned a number too. For example: Red becomes 1, Amber = 2, Green = 3, Complete = 4 etc

    Table with dummy data below. Grateful for any assistance on this, please.

    Are you really still using Excel 2003???

    There are instructions at the top of the page explaining how to attach your sample workbook.

    A good sample workbook has just 10-20 rows of representative data that has been desensitised. It also has expected results mocked up, relevant cells highlighted and a few explanatory notes.
