Dax Returned statement Help

ok so the top had of my DAx is running fine as it should but then I get down to the return part I am running into issues. I am trying to have it print off a 2,1,-1or -2 to based off what it get from "latest status" which hold two values. I need hep because I need to change itto catch certain combos like if "latest status" is -2,2 & 2,-2 & 2 ,2 & 2,1 and so on. As long as there is one 2 present it print 2 and same with 1 also lons as 1 is the greatest value it print 1 Examples if its 1,-1& -1,1 &1,-2 & -2,1 it prints 1 and for combos like  -1,-1 it print -1 and for -2 -2 it prints -2.  tried switching the and to or but it let all combos through. 
 
RETURN
IF(
FIND("2", LatestStatus, 1, 0) > 0 && FIND("-2", LatestStatus, 1, 0) = 0, "2",
IF(
FIND("1", LatestStatus, 1, 0) > 0 && FIND("-1", LatestStatus, 1, 0) = 0, "1",
IF(
FIND("-2", LatestStatus, 1, 0) > 0, "-2",
IF(
FIND("-1", LatestStatus, 1, 0) > 0, "-1",
"BLANK"
)
)
)
)

Hi @Anonymous ,

 

You can refer to below method.

RETURN = 
VAR LatestStatus = 'Table'[Latest Status]
VAR SplitPositions = 
    UNION(
        SELECTCOLUMNS({0},"Position",[Value]),
        DISTINCT(FILTER(SELECTCOLUMNS(GENERATESERIES(1,LEN(LatestStatus )),"Position",FIND(",",LatestStatus ,[Value],BLANK())),[Position]<>BLANK())),
        {LEN(LatestStatus )+1}
    )
VAR SplitPosition_AddIndex = ADDCOLUMNS(SplitPositions,"Index",RANKX(SplitPositions,[Position],,1))
VAR NumList = 
    SELECTCOLUMNS(
        GENERATESERIES(1,COUNTROWS(SplitPositions)-1),
        "Num",
            VAR Start_ = SUMMARIZE(FILTER(SplitPosition_AddIndex,[Index]=[Value]),[Position])+1
            VAR End_ = SUMMARIZE(FILTER(SplitPosition_AddIndex,[Index]=[Value]+1),[Position])
            RETURN
            MID(LatestStatus ,Start_,End_-Start_)*1
    )
RETURN
MAXX(NumList,[Num])
