Column that counts rows from two other columns and compares the result

Hello! I'm having trouble doing something that seems simple.
My table follows this structure:

 

IDSTATUSLAST_STEP
111Not approvedTRUE
111ApprovedTRUE
222ApprovedTRUE
222ApprovedTRUE
222Not approvedFALSE
333ApprovedFALSE
333 FALSE
333ApprovedTRUE
333ApprovedTRUE
444ApprovedTRUE
444 TRUE

I want to create a calculated column that checks, for each ID, if the number of rows where STATUS="Approved" and the number of rows where LAST_STEP=TRUE are the same. If they are the same, then this new column would show "OK" (if not it shows "NOK").

The expected result would be something like this:

IDSTATUSLAST_STEPNEW_COLUMN
111Not approvedTRUENOK
111ApprovedTRUENOK
222ApprovedTRUEOK
222ApprovedTRUEOK
222Not approvedFALSEOK
333ApprovedFALSEOK
333 FALSEOK
333ApprovedTRUEOK
333ApprovedTRUEOK
444ApprovedTRUENOK
444 TRUENOK

@nok,

 

Try this calculated column:

 

New Column = 
VAR vID = 'Table'[ID]
VAR vStatusApproved =
    COUNTROWS ( FILTER ( 'Table', 'Table'[ID] = vID && 'Table'[STATUS] = "Approved" ) )
VAR vLastStepTrue =
    COUNTROWS ( FILTER ( 'Table', 'Table'[ID] = vID && 'Table'[LAST_STEP] = TRUE ) )
VAR vResult =
    IF ( vStatusApproved = vLastStepTrue, "OK", "NOK" )
RETURN
    vResult

Check your expected result for ID 333. It has three Approved rows and two True rows, hence NOK.

For your reference.

I add a 'New_Column' column below.

New_Column = IF(CALCULATE(COUNTX(FILTER('DATA','DATA'[STATUS]="Approved"),'DATA'[STATUS]),ALLEXCEPT('DATA','DATA'[ID]))=CALCULATE(COUNTX(FILTER('DATA','DATA'[LAST_STEP]="true"),'DATA'[LAST_STEP]),ALLEXCEPT('DATA','DATA'[ID])),"OK","NOK")

Just incase if you want it in form of a table 

Table = ADDCOLUMNS (
    SUMMARIZE (
        Step,
        Step[LAST_STEP],
        Step[ID],
        Step[STATUS]
    ),
   "New_Column",
    VAR ApprovedCount = 
        CALCULATE (
            COUNTROWS ( Step ),
            ALLEXCEPT(Step,Step[ID]),
            Step[STATUS] = "Approved"
        )
        VAR StatusCount = 
        CALCULATE (
            COUNTROWS ( Step ),
            ALLEXCEPT(Step,Step[ID]),
            Step[LAST_STEP] = "TRUE"
        )

      RETURN IF (ApprovedCount=StatusCount,  "OK","NOK")
)


I never knew its possible to use variables in combination with Summarize. Learned something new.
