create boolean out of status column with one status relevant

Hello,

I'm trying to create a new dimension in the form of a boolean value. 

The table looks like the following:

cart_idpayment_status
1pending
1authorised
1captured
2pending
2failed

 

with the additional column "success" I wish to mark all "cart_id" with '1' if their payment was authorised and all others with '0'.

The challenge is that one cart_id can have many other payment_status but the only one I care for is "authorised". 

cart_idpayment_statussuccess
1pending1
1authorised1
1captured1
2pending0
2pending0

 

Would be super happy for any advise on how to create this dimension in Power BI

 

Thanks in advance

This calculated column DAX counts the number of times a cart is authorised.  If any number is returned then the column is set to 1, otherwise 0.

 

Success =
VAR _AuthorisedCount =
CALCULATE(
COUNTROWS('Table'),
ALLEXCEPT('Table', 'Table'[cart_id]),
'Table'[payment_status] = "Authorised"
)
VAR _Result = IF(_AuthorisedCount, 1, 0)
RETURN
_Result
