Cells H4:N4 contain one of the values derived from a validated list as follows:

(blank), X, WIP, AP and filled using conditional formatting as (no fill), green, yellow and red respectively.

To understand a little about what I am doing I offer the following. Blank means no value and there is no data. Green (X) means it is complete and work may continue. Yellow (WIP) is a work in progress and is not holding the job up. Red (AP) is awaiting parts and means a work stoppage.

On this detail sheet I want to be able to use cell O4 to find the worst case scenario from H4:N4 and indicate it in O4 then reference that format/value on a roll-up sheet; so if the worst case is "AP" then O4 will indicate either by value or format this condition. I then use that to roll up to the summary sheet.

The order of worst to best is AP, WIP, X, "Blank"

Any ideas?
