Calculate result from two records

Hi, I am stuck....

 

I have a query with these records:

Users are asked questions during the day.
One of the questions "Have you taken your study medication TODAY?" is asked at 9:00 in the morning.
-If they answer "No" the same question will be asked again at 12:00
-If the don't answer the question ("notAnswered") the same question will be asked again at 12:00
-If they answer "Yes" nothing happens at 12:00 (but the question will be in the records with "FALSE" in column "needToAnswer"

 

The next day it starts again at 9:00

The records in the query contain other questions and answers and questions and answers from other users.

The column "Outcome for that day" show the outcome of the 2 questions for that day for that user (this is a fictional column)

 

I want to be able to calculate the definitive answer every "questionDay" per user. And create a visual of that.

 

I have attached an example of the query and a example of the visual I want to make.

 

Thanks a lot in advance, I am totally lost...

I have created a column to calculate the outcome, let me know how the percentage should b calucated if you need help.

Outcome = 
VAR __userid = Table1[userld]
VAR __questionday = Table1[question Day]
VAR __T = CALCULATETABLE( VALUES( Table1[Answer]), Table1[userld] = __userid, Table1[question Day] = __questionday, REMOVEFILTERS() )
VAR __Y = "Yes"
VAR __N = "No"
VAR __NA = "n/a"
VAR __NotA = "not answered"
VAR __RESULT = 
    SWITCH(
        TRUE(),
        __Y in __T , __Y,
        NOT __Y in __T && __N IN __T ,  __N,
        COUNTROWS(__T) = 1 && __NotA IN __T , __NotA
    )
RETURN
    __RESULT

I forgot a column: both questions have a unique "questionId"
