Need Help with SWITCH or IF function

Hi!

 

Im trying to create a calculated column to determine the status using 2 columns (initial and final review) as reference.

 

INITIAL REVIEWFINAL REVIEWSTATUS
COMPLETED PENDING FINAL REVIEW
COMPLETEDCOMPLETEDCOMPLETED
  PENDING INITIAL AND FINAL REVIEW

 

I have trouble how to incorporate the non-blanks into DAX.

So far I have come up with:

 

=SWITCH(TRUE(),[INITIAL Review]&&[FINAL REVIEW]=BLANK(),"PENDING INITIAL REVIEW",[INITIAL Review]&&[FINAL REVIEW]=,"COMPLETED",)

 

Many thanks in advance.

@jrpoli2000- Perhaps try this:

 

STATUS = 
SWITCH(
    TRUE(),
    ISBLANK([INITIAL REVIEW]) && ISBLANK([FINAL REVIEW]),
        "PENDING INITIAL AND FINAL REVIEW",
    [INITIAL Review]="COMPLETED" && [FINAL REVIEW]="COMPLETED",
        "COMPLETED",
    "PENDING INITIAL REVIEW"
)

Thanks a lot!!! also used ISTEXT because the entry sometimes for both Initial and Final Review columns will not be always COMPLETED.

 

Thanks again!
