No need for 2 arrays, just use an if-elsif block for the 2 conditions

#!/usr/bin/perl -w
use strict;
use Spreadsheet::ParseExcel;
use Spreadsheet::WriteExcel;

my $parser   = Spreadsheet::ParseExcel->new();
my $workbook = $parser->parse('Homestead_status.xls');
 
if ( !defined $workbook ) {
  die $parser->error(), ".\n";
}
 
my $workbook1 = Spreadsheet::WriteExcel->new('Report.xls');
my $format1 = $workbook1->add_format(bg_color => 'green');
my $format2 = $workbook1->add_format(bg_color => 'orange');

for my $worksheet ( $workbook->worksheets() ) {
  my $worksheet1 = $workbook1->add_worksheet();
  my ( $row_min, $row_max ) = $worksheet->row_range();
  my ( $col_min, $col_max ) = $worksheet->col_range();
  
  for my $row ( $row_min .. $row_max ) {
    my @value = ();
    my $fmt; # format for complete row
    # store row in array
    for my $col ( $col_min .. $col_max ) {
      my $cell = $worksheet->get_cell( $row, $col );

        if ($value[$col] =~ m/Completed/i){
          $fmt = $format1 
        } elsif ($value[$col] =~ m/In Progress/i){

        }
      }
    }
    # write row
