Calculate overall result for a row of a pivoted matrix

Hi,

I'm trying to do something similar to this post (https://community.powerbi.com/t5/Desktop/Need-overall-status-based-on-individual/td-p/1143868) but with an added layer of complexity.

 

I have a table which looks sort of like this

 

Name   Result

blah      Pass

blah      Pass

meh      Pass

blah      Pass

meh      Fail

 

I want to calculate an "overall result" for each distinct "Name". So if every row where Name is "blah" has result "Pass", as above, then its overall result should be "Pass", while if there's a single "Fail" (as with "meh") then the overall result should be "Fail". I've seen a lot of similar calculations in other posts, but none which cover segregating the overall result on a per-name basis.

 

Right now, the data is visualized in a pivoted matrix based on the original table that looks like so

 

Name  Pass  Fail

blah     3       0

meh     1       1

 

I would want the end result to look like this:

 

Name  Pass  Fail  Overall

blah     3       0     Pass

meh     1       1     Fail

 

If the actual table were organized in the DB into rows and columns like the pivoted matrix, the calculation would be doable, but that's not an option for me. Anyone have any ideas how I can get the multiple distinct overall results when all results share a single column in the table?
