Lookup next state based on current state

Hi experts!

I have a table that shows me the current working step for each work order:

Order NrStep Article
100A1 A
101B2 A

 

This table is linked to a dimensional table that contains a unique list of all articles.

This unique list is linked to another table, that shows me for each article all possible steps:

ArticleSequenceStep
A1A1
A2B1
A4B2
A8C3

 

Now I would like to calculated in the first table (calculated column) the next step for each work order, based on this logic, based on the sequence.

As you can see the sequence number is not continous filled. There are missing numbers.

How can I determine the next step for each work order?

Hi @joshua1990 ,

 

Please refer this formula.

Column = 
var seq = CALCULATE(MAX(TableB[Sequence]),FILTER(TableB,TableB[Article]=TableA[Article]&&TableB[Step]=TableA[Step]))
var nextseq = CALCULATE(MIN(TableB[Sequence]),FILTER(TableB,TableB[Article]=TableA[Article]&&TableB[Sequence]>seq))
return
CALCULATE(MAX(TableB[Step]),FILTER(TableB,TableB[Article]=TableA[Article]&&TableB[Sequence]=nextseq))

Hi,

Please check the below picture and the attached pbix file.

It is for creating a new column.

Next Step CC =
VAR currentarticle = Data[Article]
VAR currentstep = Data[Step]
VAR currentsequence =
    LOOKUPVALUE (
        DimTable[Sequence],
        DimTable[Article], currentarticle,
        DimTable[Step], currentstep
    )
VAR nextsequesnce =
    MINX (
        FILTER (
            ALL ( DimTable ),
            DimTable[Article] = currentarticle
                && DimTable[Sequence] > currentsequence
        ),
        DimTable[Sequence]
    )
RETURN
    SUMMARIZE (
        FILTER (
            ALL ( DimTable ),
            DimTable[Article] = currentarticle
                && DimTable[Sequence] = nextsequesnce
        ),
        DimTable[Step]
    )

Hi @joshua1990 

you can try

Next Step =
VAR CurrentSequence =
    RELATED ( DimTable[Sequence] )
VAR NextStepSequence =
    MINX (
        FILTER ( DimTable, DimTable[Sequence] > CurrentSequence ),
        DimTable[Sequence]
    )
RETURN
    MAXX (
        FILTER ( DimTable, DimTable[Sequence] = NextStepSequence ),
        DimTable[Step]
    )
