Create boolean calculated column based on related table

Hi all,

 

I need help with the following issue: 

My Data model has a table production items on the one side and Production steps on the other. Each Item goes through different steps in the production line, I have an Info if a step has succeeded or failed.

 

Now, I need to calculate it at Item level: if an Item goes through all steps in the production line without failing it's boolean 0 if one single step has failed it's boolean 1.

 

TBL_Items:

Item1
Item2
Item3

 

TBL_Process

Item1 -Process1-Success
Item1 -Process2-Success
Item1 -Process3-Fail
Item2-Process1-Success
Item2 Process2Success

 

Result should be 

 

TBL_Items:

Item1-Fail
Item2-Success
Item3-null

 

Any Idea how I can calculate this as a calculated column?

 

Thanks and Kind regards

Urumita

@Urumita, Try the below steps,

  • Add Status Code (Numeric)
    1. Success = 1
    2. In Progress = 2
    3. Faile = 3

  • Create a Calculated Column in Item TBL_Items like below,

 

 

Status = 
    VAR StatusCode  = CALCULATE(MAX('TBL_Process'[Status Code]), RELATEDTABLE('TBL_Process'))
    VAR Result = SWITCH(
        StatusCode,
        1,
        "Success",
        3,
        "Fail",
        "In Progress"
)
RETURN
Result

Note: Make sure that you created a relationship between the tables.
