Identification Record Check

Hello

 

I have a table which consists of IDs that have two record types (blue or yellow). I want to create a calcualted column that does the following:

 

If ID has 'Blue' & 'Yellow' record state "Complete"

If ID has only 'Blue' record state "Blue"

If ID has only 'Yellow' record state "Yellow"

 

Dataset Example

IDRecord
1Yellow
1Blue
2Yellow
3Yellow
3Blue
4Yellow
5Blue

 

Expected Outcome

IDCalculated Column
1Complete
2Yellow
3Complete
4Yellow
5Blue

You can create a calculated table like

Table 2 = 
var allBlue = CALCULATETABLE( VALUES('Table (2)'[ID]),'Table (2)'[Record] = "Blue")
var allYellow = CALCULATETABLE( VALUES('Table (2)'[ID]),'Table (2)'[Record] = "Yellow")
return UNION( 
    GENERATE( INTERSECT( allBlue, allYellow), { "Complete" }),
    GENERATE( EXCEPT( allBlue, allYellow), { "Blue" }),
    GENERATE( EXCEPT( allYellow, allBlue), { "Yellow" } )
)

Thanks for your response. I have created a calculated table as suggested but instead of highlighting Task ID's that have either of the following:

 

Yellow & Blue record

Yellow only record

Blue only record

 

It has added a row in for each scenerio. In the below screenshot you can see that Task ID 718737 has a record of blue only but the calculated column has forced three rows with each scenario instead of highlighting 'Blue' only.

Any suggestions as to why this isnt working

Can you post a shot of the calculated table from the Data view, and also any relationships you've created between the new table and the original. Also, which tables are the columns in your visual coming from ?

I have just created a relationship between both Task ID columns and this is working perfect now.

 

Thank you very much!
