Pleas help me before I throw my computer out the window!!!

I have a worksheet with a number of sheets. Each sheet is devoted to a specific 'project' my boss is working on and lists all the tasks that are required to complete the project. The columns include

Task, Person responsible, target completion date, status

I want to have a summary page where it shows all the projects and what task it is on and who is responsible.

I've figured out that if I use formula =if("sheet1D2="in progress", Sheet1A1) and =if("sheet1D2="in progress",Sheet1B1) will give me the task and person responsible.

The problem I'm having is that I can't figure out how to make the formula apply to the Task or Person Responsible column. I won't always know what row is "in progress" unless I do it manually (which completely misses the point of having the formula).

I didn't think that it would be difficult, but I just can't seem to get it!
