Filter out results based on specific text in a column

[DessiG]

Hi Everyone, 

I have the following working query, but I need to add a condition for the results to exclude rows that have a status "COMPLETED" in the "Data[Status]" column of the table. I tried with IS NOT, Filter and Containstring, but I do not seem to be approaching this in the correct way. Please can someone lend a hand. Thanks a lot in advance!

Discussion Point =

SWITCH (

    TRUE (),

    Data[Follow-upDate] <= TODAY (), "To Be Discussed",

    ISBLANK ( Data[Follow-upDate]), "To Be Discussed",

    AND ( ISBLANK ( Data[Completion Date] ), ISBLANK ( Data[Follow-upDate] ) ), "To Be Discussed",

    "OK"

)

@DessiG if you are adding this as a column, you can do something like this:

Discussion Point =
SWITCH (
    TRUE (),
    Data[Status] = "Completed", "Your status value whatever you want",
    Data[Follow-upDate] <= TODAY (), "To Be Discussed",
    ISBLANK ( Data[Follow-upDate]), "To Be Discussed",
    AND ( ISBLANK ( Data[Completion Date] ), ISBLANK ( Data[Follow-upDate] ) ), "To Be Discussed",
    "OK"
)

Thank you very much both @Anonymous and @parry2k !

For me the solution did not work because I had one more status and the <= Today () was preventing the "COMPLETED" to execute as I needed. Otherwise, it work as illustrated by @Anonymous  here. THANK YOU both very much!

Just as FYI for the community, below is how I solved in my particular case (after a couple of days of triel and error LOL):

Initial statuses:

Calculated column:

Result:

It seemed counter intuitive to me, but it gives me the results I need, so this is what I took, but will accept both your answers as well as they too work in a bit of a dirrectedn context.

THANSK a lot again!
