İ want to create a new column as named "Statu" which one marked with yellow as below sample table .New column's rules will be like that : 

 

  • IF First Manager is blank system will not  check any column more  and statu will  be "opened" 
  • IF   First maganer is " Accepted " system will not  check any column more and statu will be "closed "

@erhan_79 it should be pretty straightforward, you should try to understand the logic that @AlexisOlson provided in another post and apply it here, these are very basic stuff but here it is, and hope you will learn from it and apply it in future use cases.

 

Status = 
VAR __firstManager = COALESCE ( Table[FirstManager], "" )
VAR __secondManager = COALESCE ( Table[SecondManager], "" )
VAR __orderNumber = COALECE ( Table[OrderNumber], "" )
RETURN
SWITCH ( 
   __firstManager,
  _"", "Opened",
  _"Accepted", "Closed",
   "Not Accepted", IF ( __orderNumber = "", "Opened, "Closed" ),
   "Return", 
      SWITCH ( 
            __secondManager,
            "", "Opened",
            "Accepted", "Closed",
            "Not Accepted", IF ( __orderNumber = "", "Opened, "Closed" )
     )
)

 

There might be typo, just fix it if you see any issue or change the conditions as you see fit.
