Pick up first non null value if the current value is null or some defined value

I have a dataset like below.

 

I want to check if status is null then pick up the first non-null value for Comp A which is Compliant. 2nd condition - if the value is Non-Compliant then check the value for next month and use that value. Example Comp B's Jan 2022 is Non-Compliant but Feb'2022 is Compliant so we need to change Jan 2022's value to Compliant.

 

Can this be done in DAX or M for having a new column. I dont want a measure to be created.

 

ComputerNameMonthStatus
Comp A01-Nov-21null
Comp A01-Dec-21null
Comp A01-Jan-22Compliant
Comp A01-Feb-22Compliant
Comp A01-Mar-22Non-Compliant
Comp B01-Nov-21Compliant
Comp B01-Dec-21null
Comp B01-Jan-22Non-Compliant
Comp B01-Feb-22Compliant
Comp B01-Mar-22Non-Compliant

Hi @BI_Analyticz ,

 

Please try the following formula:

 

Column = 
VAR FirNonBlank =
    CALCULATE (
        MIN ( 'Table'[Month] ),
        FILTER (
            'Table',
            'Table'[Status] <> BLANK ()
                && 'Table'[ComputerName] = EARLIER ( 'Table'[ComputerName] )
        )
    )
RETURN
    SWITCH (
        [Status],
        "",
            CALCULATE (
                MAX ( 'Table'[Status] ),
                FILTER (
                    'Table',
                    'Table'[Month] = FirNonBlank
                        && 'Table'[ComputerName] = EARLIER ( 'Table'[ComputerName] )
                )
            ),
        "Non-Compliant",
            CALCULATE (
                MAX ( 'Table'[Status] ),
                FILTER (
                    'Table',
                    'Table'[ComputerName] = EARLIER ( 'Table'[ComputerName] )
                        && 'Table'[Month] = EDATE ( EARLIER ( [Month] ), 1 )
                )
            ),
        [Status]
    )

@BI_Analyticz , a new column like

new column =
var _min = minx(filter(Table, [ComputerName] = earlier([ComputerName]) && [Month] >earlier([Month]) && not(isblank([Status])) ), [Month])
return
if(isblank([Status]) , maxx(filter(Table, [ComputerName] = earlier([ComputerName]) && [Month] =_min ), [Status]),[Status])

@amitchandak Thanks for replying. Is there a way to pickup the value of Feb 2022 which is max month -1 or n-1
