Looking for help with several IF OR statements referencing two columns shown below to generate a status for a third column (Order Status).
i.e. If Approval Status or Approval Status is Approved, "Approved"; If Approval Status or Approval Status is Submitted, "In Progress", If Approval Status or Approval Status is Declined, "Declined", If Approval Status or Approval Status is N/A, "No Approval Needed".
| Approval Status | Approval Status 2 | Order Status |
|---|---|---|
| Approved, Submitted, Declined, N/A | Approved, Submitted, Declined, N/A |
Here's where I started...but I've looked at it for far too long and probably overthinking it, need fresh eyes :)
=IF([Approval Status]:[Approval Status2] = "Approved", IF([Approval Status]:[Approval Status2] = "Submitted", "Submitted", IF([Approval Status]:[Approval Status2] = "Declined", "Declined", IF([Approval Status]:[Approval Status2] = "N/A", "No Approval Needed", "In Progress"))))

Here is another suggestion, assuming entries in columns A and B:
=INDEX({"Approved";"In Progress";"Declined";"No Approval Needed"},MAX(ISNUMBER(SEARCH({"Approved";"Submitted";"Declined";"N/A"},A4:B4))*ROW($1:$4)))
Try
=IF(OR(Table1[@[Approval Status]:[Approval Status 2]] = "Approved"), "Approved", IF(OR(Table1[@[Approval Status]:[Approval Status 2]] = "Submitted"), "Submitted", IF(OR(Table1[@[Approval Status]:[Approval Status 2]] = "Declined"), "Declined", IF(OR(Table1[@[Approval Status]:[Approval Status 2]] = "N/A"), "No Approval Needed"))))
Where Table1 is the name of the table.
