    Hi Anonymous,

     

    with the function ISBLANK you can check if there is any value.

     

    BLNK =
VAR AnyBlank =
    ISBLANK ( TestTable[Column1] ) || ISBLANK ( TestTable[Column2] )
        || ISBLANK ( TestTable[Column3] )
VAR Result =
    IF ( AnyBlank; "Incomplete"; "Complete" )
RETURN
    Result

Hi Anonymous,

 

please check the 3rd message of this thread if it is the solution you expect. We published our post in the same time and maybe it was overseen.

Logically that looks perfect but a followup question is where would I input that logic?

 

I created a custom column and then I get this Custom Column prompt which I'll attach below. Within this prompt, I get errors trying similar logic as you posed to I'm guessing that I'm not entering the information in the right area?

    Hi Anonymous ,

     

    in PowerBI in tab Modeling click on New Column. And then insert the DAX code I've sent you.
