Array Formula - Please Help

Hi everyone, 

 

I am trying to create an array formula in DAX that I can't seem to wrap my mind around. 

 

Here is what I currently have in excel - which I will explain the logic of what I am trying to do. 

 

 ABC  D
1ControlPhaseStatusStatus Adjusted
21.1-C-1Interim ICompleteIn Progess
31.1-C-1Interim IIIn ProgessIn Progess
41.1-C-2Interim ICompleteIn Progress
51.1-C-3Interim ICompleteComplete
61.1-C-3Interim IICompleteComplete

 

{=IFERROR(VLOOKUP(A2,IF($B$1:$B$6="Interim II",$A$1:$C$6,""),3,FALSE),"In Progress")}

 

The meat of the formula is in the red. I am currently running a Array Formula to achieve this in excel. 

 

So essentially, what I am trying to do is for the same control (i.e. 1.1-C-1), if the Interim II status isn't complete, or if the interim II status doesn't exist for a control, then that control should show as "in progress" for all instances. Once Interim II is completed, then both instances of the control will show as "Complete".

 

Please let me know!

Try with following column

 

Column =
IF (
    CONTAINS (
        FILTER ( Table1, [Control] = EARLIER ( [Control] ) && [Phase] = "Interim II" ),
        [Status], "Complete"
    ),
    "Complete",
    "In Progress"
)

 

or this one

 

Column 2 =
IF (
    CONTAINS (
        FILTER ( Table1, [Control] = EARLIER ( [Control] ) ),
        [Status], "Complete",
        [Phase], "Interim II"
    ),
    "Complete",
    "In Progress"
)
