We have a set of certification information along with the user details as mentioned in Table 1. Based on certain certification rules (mentioned in the Certification Rule Section), we need to report the certification status of all the users with respect to year as shown in Table 3.
Can someone please help me out with the DAX formulation for this? Thank you in advance

Input Description:
Certification Rule:
Eg: Lets say 1 employee (email id john@test.com) with Role 1, joined on 20-Dec-2020, completed Quiz 1, Quiz 2, Quiz 3 on 20 Feb 2021, and Quiz 4 on Q4 2021. After that he completes Quiz 1 & Quiz 2 in Q2 2022, and no quiz completed after that. And he is still an active employee. So the output should be as follows:
Table 2
User Email | Year | Certification Status Q1 | Certification Status Q2 | Certification Status Q3 | Certification Status Q4 |
john@test.com | 2020 | Not applicable | Not applicable | Not applicable | Not started |
User email | Year | Certification Status Q1 | Certification Status Q2 | Certification Status Q3 | Certification Status Q4 |
john@test.com | 2021 | Incomplete | Incomplete | Incomplete | Completed |
john@test.com | 2022 | Incomplete | Incomplete | Incomplete | Incomplete |
john@test.com | 2023 | Not started | Not started | Not started | Not started |
Therefore, the output should have the following matrix in the power query.
Table 3
User Email | Year | Certification Status Q1 | Certification Status Q2 | Certification Status Q3 | Certification Status Q4 |
2020 | Not applicable | Not applicable | Not applicable | Not started | |
2021 | Completed | Completed | Completed | Completed | |
2022 | Not started | Incomplete | Incomplete | Incomplete | |
2023 | Incomplete | Incomplete | Incomplete | Incomplete | |
2020 | Not applicable | Not applicable | Not applicable | Not applicable | |
2021 | Not applicable | Not applicable | Not applicable | Not started | |
2022 | Completed | Completed | Completed | Completed | |
2023 | Not started | Not started | Not started | Not started | |
2020 | Not started | Not started | Not started | Not started | |
2021 | Incomplete | Incomplete | Not applicable | Not applicable | |
2020 | Not started | Not started | Not started | Not started | |
2021 | Completed | Completed | Completed | Not applicable | |
2022 | Not started | Not started | Not started | Incomplete | |
2023 | Not started | Not started | Not started | Not started |
Your rules seem to apply to years. Your expected outcome shows quarters. Please explain how this is derived.
