@u4unnicool in case you mean a calculated column in the model table then:

 

output = 
SWITCH(
    TRUE(),
    'Table'[T5] <> "" ,'Table'[T5],
    'Table'[T4] <> "" ,'Table'[T4],
    'Table'[T3] <> "" ,'Table'[T3],
    'Table'[T2] <> "",'Table'[T2],
    'Table'[T1] <> "",'Table'[T1]
)

@SpartaBI  your solution worked thank you i added null as blank 

=
SWITCH(
TRUE(),
'Table'[status T5] <> BLANK() ,'Table'[status T5],
'Table'[status T4] <> BLANK() ,'Table'[status T4],
'Table'[status T3] <> BLANK() ,'Table'[status T3],
'Table'[status T2] <> BLANK(),'Table'[status T2],

'Table'[status T1] <> BLANK(),'Table'[status T1]
)
