Checking if employee is available

Hi guys,

 

I am trying to see if employees are sick, on holiday or available at the office.

To do this I created two columns with "Status description" to determine if they are available or not

 

Column 1:

StatusDescription = IF(AND(LeaveRegistrations[StartDate] <= TODAY(); LeaveRegistrations[EndDate] >= TODAY()); "Away"; "Available")

Column 2:

StatusDescription = IF(AbsenceRegistrationTransactions[StartDate] >= TODAY()-7; IF(AbsenceRegistrationTransactions[Status] = 1; "Available" ; IF(AbsenceRegistrationTransactions[Status] = 0; "Away"; "Unknown")); IF(AbsenceRegistrationTransactions[Status] = 1; "Available"; "Unknown"))
 
So now I want to combine these two to see if someone is away or not, but I can't get this to work.
Below is a screenshot of the needed tables and their connections. Can anyone help?

So, what takes precedence? If one column shows Available and one Away, which is it and what is it for all possible combinations of values?

@Greg_Deckler  If they are either sick or on holiday they should be away.

 

So it should look something like:

Measure x = IF('AbsenceRegistrationTransaction'[StatusDescription] = "Away" ; "Away"; IF('LeaveRegistration'[StatusDescription] = "Away"; "Away"; "Available"))

Really hard to do this one without sample data or more specifics around what you want this to end up like. But, let's say you have a data slicer that you filter down to a specific date. And you have a table visual of employees, you might be able to do a measure like:

 

Measure = 

  VAR __EmployeeID = MAX('Employees'[EmployeeID])

  VAR __Date = SELECTEDVALUE('Dates'[Date])

  VAR __LeaveStatus1 = MAXX(FILTER('LeaveTable1',[EmployeeID] = __EmployeeID && [Date] = __Date),[LeaveStatus1])

  VAR __LeaveStatus2 = MAXX(FILTER('LeaveTable2',[EmployeeID] = __EmployeeID && [Date] = __Date),[LeaveStatus2])

RETURN

@Greg_DecklerThanks for helping me so far, but if I try your measure it will only return "Away" for one employee, not for the others.

 

Measure =
VAR _EmployeeID = MAX(Employees[ID])
VAR _AbsenceRegistration = MAXX(FILTER(AbsenceRegistrations; AbsenceRegistrations[Employee] = _EmployeeID); AbsenceRegistrations[ID])
VAR _Date = TODAY()
VAR _LeaveStatus1 = MAXX(FILTER(AbsenceRegistrationTransactions; AbsenceRegistrationTransactions[AbsenceRegistration] = _AbsenceRegistration && AbsenceRegistrationTransactions[StartDate] = _Date); [StatusDescription])
VAR _LeaveStatus2 = MAXX(FILTER(LeaveRegistrations; LeaveRegistrations[Employee] = _EmployeeID && LeaveRegistrations[StartDate] = _Date); LeaveRegistrations[StatusDescription])

return
IF(_LeaveStatus1 = "Away" ; "Away"; IF(_LeaveStatus2 = "Away"; "Away"; "Available"))
 
I added a small sample file, so maybe this helps Test.pbix
