Hello,
How would I get Power BI to show the current step of an order number?
Ideally the formula would group order number and look for the first step where status is "In Progress". ( Needs to check step A status first, then b, lastly c)
The yellow column would be the needed result.

Hi BQH15,
Here's a solution:
a) Create a calculcated column Rank in the table, with the formula:
Rank = SWITCH(TRUE(),
[Step]="a",1,
[Step]="b",2,
[Step]="c",3
)
b) Create a calculated column in the table with the formula:
Current Step =
Var p = 'Feuil1'[Order Number]
Var t = FILTER('Feuil1',[Order Number]=p && [Status]="In Progress")
Var r = minX(t,[Rank])
Var s=FILTER(t,[Rank]=r && [Order Number]=p)
return MAXX(s,[Step])
Note that Feuil1 is the name of the table containing the data.
