If Condition for Text not Working
- Such things should be done in Power Query (M), not in DAX. Use the right tool for the job. On top of that, M code would be very simple. No messing around with context and context transition.
DAX is a Data Analysis eXpressions language, not data mash-up language. M is.

D. Hi there.
Again, this is not the way to do it. First, you should create an auxiliary table that will hold all the mappings from status to classification. Then, in PQ, you left outer join the target table to the mappings table and get the column you need.
This procedure makes sure you don't have to go back to the M code when you need to change a mapping or add a new one. All you have to do is manage the mappings which can be done in the source through SQL (if your data comes from a relational database).

You can use IF in conjunction with OR logical operator as shown below:
Create a new column:
Final Status = IF( Table1[Status] = "Retired" ||Table1[Status] ="Submission Declined" || Table1[Status] ="Closed with Feedback", "Closed","Open") Anonymous
Hope this helps!
