Create a new table based on filters

I have and e-learning data with duplicates across the different columns just like this

First NameLast NameCourse titleStatusCompletion date
JamesPaulCourse ARegistered 
JamesPaulCourse ACompleted1/2/18
JamesPaulCourse BRegistered 
JamesPaulCourse BCompleted3/5/18
AnnePeterCourse ARegistered 
AnnePeterCourse BRegistered 
AnnePeterCourse CRegistered 
AnnePeterCourse CCompleted5/8/20

 

I want to create a new table with columns: [first name], [Last name], [course], [Status] using a DAX expression.

Each person would have one unique row for the completion status of each course.

If a course has been completed, I only want that row on the new table (filtering based on the completion date not blank and if no completion date exist, the status is marked "Incomplete")

For Instance:

First NameLast NameCourse titleStatus
JamesPaulCourse ACompleted
JamesPaulCourse BCompleted
AnnePeterCourse AIncomplete
AnnePeterCourse BIncomplete
AnnePeterCourse CCompleted

Thanks for your response.

I was able to work around it using power query, relationships and DAX. The data was more complex than I explained.

Create the following Table:

Table 2 = summarize('Table', [first name], [Last name], [Course title],[Completion date],"Status",IF([Completion date]=BLANK(),"Incomplete","Complete"))

@Anonymous , one of the two ways

 

summarize(filter(Table, Table[Status] ="Completed"  ), [first name], [Last name], [course], [Status] )

 

or

 

calculatetable(Table, filter(Table, Table[Status] ="Completed"  ))

Works for me very well too. Is there an opition to have 2 ctriterias listed? as .... {"mm" , "xx"}  ... is not working form me. Thanks in advance.

SOLVED like this:

summarize(filter(Table, Table[Column] = "abc" || Table[Column] = "123") )

This worked fantasic, just what I was looking for. Thanks for the help
