Creating a "Current Activity Flag" based on different scenarios.

[CBrinky]

Hi all, 

I've done my best to research this, using forums, google, chatgpt to create a solution. I just can't get my head around this. 

I have 3 different project scenarios where you can see what the "current activity" is. Based on predecessors, dates, task_id, project id etc.

It works with the below example as it only has 1 "predecessor" with start/finish date

I don't know how to adjust it so in this scenario it only shows "Surface Treatment" as the current activity. 

And I don't know how to adjust it so in this scenario it just displays as "Job complete"

Successor =

VAR PredecessorID = 'RAW_TASK/PRED_MERGED'[TASK PREDECESSOR]

VAR PredecessorStatus =

    CALCULATE(

        COUNTROWS('RAW_TASK/PRED_MERGED'),

        FILTER(

            'RAW_TASK/PRED_MERGED',

            'RAW_TASK/PRED_MERGED'[TASK_ID] = PredecessorID &&

            NOT ISBLANK('RAW_TASK/PRED_MERGED'[ACT_START_DATE]) &&

            NOT ISBLANK('RAW_TASK/PRED_MERGED'[ACT_END_DATE])

        )

    )

RETURN

    IF(

        PredecessorStatus > 0,

        "Current Activity",

        BLANK()

    )

Hi @CBrinky ,

Please try this way:
Use this DAX to create a new measure:

Successor = 
VAR _MAXEND = MAXX(ALL('Table'), 'Table'[ACT_END_DATE])
VAR _MAXID = MAXX(FILTER(ALL('Table'), 'Table'[ACT_END_DATE] = _MAXEND), [TASK_ID])
RETURN
IF(
    MAX('Table'[TASK PREDECESSOR]) = _MAXID, "current activity", BLANK())

And about "Job complete", you can use these DAXs:

Successor1 = 
IF(
    CALCULATE(
        COUNTROWS('Table2'),
        NOT(ISBLANK('Table2'[ACT_END_DATE]))
    ) = COUNTROWS('Table2'),
    "Job complete"
)

Or

Successor2 = 
IF(
    COUNTBLANK(Table2[ACT_END_DATE]) > 0,
    "non-complete",
    "Job complete"
)

Hi Dino, 

Is there a way to maybe use the "switch" function to combine these solutions? So it'd check if it means 1 condition, and if it doesn't it checks if it meets the next condition? Your help is greatly appreciated!

Hi @CBrinky ,

You can use this DAX:

Measure 2 = 
var _countend=COUNTX(ALLSELECTED('Table'),'Table'[ACT_END_DATE])
var _countname=COUNTX(ALLSELECTED('Table'),'Table'[TASK_NAME])
var _maxend=MAXX(ALL('Table'),'Table'[ACT_END_DATE])
var _maxid=
CONCATENATEX(
    FILTER(ALL('Table'),'Table'[ACT_END_DATE]=_maxend),[TASK_ID],"-")
return
IF(
    _countend=_countname,"Job complete",
IF(
   CONTAINSSTRING(
    _maxid,MAX('Table'[TASK PREDECESSOR]))=TRUE()&&MAX('Table'[TASK PREDECESSOR])<>BLANK(),
"current activity", BLANK()))

I didn't use "switch", but it work in my situation.
