Call macro pending on value

[Emoncada]

I have 5 status cells with a validation. I would a cell to tell me what the updated status is.

example

Cells
J11
J15
J19
J23
J27

If J27 = "" Then Go To J23

Else If J27 <> "" Then
If J27 = "AVAILABLE", "RETIRE", OR "SHIPPING" tHEN Range("AA1") = Value

Else ("AA1") = "WIP"

If J23 = "" Then Go To J19

Else If J23 <> "" Then
If J23 = "AVAILABLE", "RETIRE", OR "SHIPPING" tHEN Range("AA1") = Value

Else ("AA1") = "WIP"

If J19 = "" Then Go To J15

Else If J19 <> "" Then
If J19 = "AVAILABLE", "RETIRE", OR "SHIPPING" tHEN Range("AA1") = Value

Else ("AA1") = "WIP"

And so on until J11 At some point it should find something and then when Saved it will look at Cell AA1 and know the latest update.

Dim TestCell As Range
Dim i As Long

For i = 27 To 11 Step -4

If Cells(i, "J").Value <> "" Then

Set TestCell = Cells(i, "J")
Exit For
End If
Next i

If TestCell Is Nothing Then

Range("AA1").Value = "WIP"
ElseIf TestCell.Value = "AVAILABLE" Or _
TestCell.Value = "RETIRE" Or _
TestCell.Value = "SHIPPING" Then

Range("AA1").Value = TestCell.Value
Else

Range("AA1").Value = "WIP"
End If
