Creating calculated rows and columns in data table

Hi,

 

I have two basic questions about add formulas in the data table in Power BI. I would like to create new calculated columns and rows in Power Query instead of the visuals itself. Please also share your opinions if doing so in the Power BI visuals(Measures) would be better.

 

  • I want to create a new column(Status) in my data table which calculates the status of a particular task based on the entries of the columns(A to E in the example below from excel)

  • I would also like to create a another row(Final) at the end of the table which will take the column as the input to check the status per column

Thanks in advance for any help. I am new to Power BI and figuring out the basics by taking a few examples.

Hi @amitchandak,

 

I have included the formulas for Status and Final in the snapshot. It is basically checking if all the entries for columns A to E contain "Done", if yes, display Done or Pending.

 

Similarly for Final Row, I am doing the same for all the column entries. Does that make the question clear?
