Status Change Help Please

Hello, I was hoping someone could help me please.

 

I have a column called Status of which the data comes from a dataflow, of which I dont have access to control/change.

Is there a way in power BI desktop for me to add when the Status column changes to a particular status? 

So for example, I would like to know the date that the status was changed to Approved

 

Thank you in advance.

@Pricey79 ,

a new column

= if([Status]= "Approved", [Date], blank())

 

a new measure

maxx(filter(Table[Status]= "Approved"), [Date])

 

USe measure with id or something for which you are looking for status change

 

 

or

Can you share sample data and sample output in table format? Or a sample pbix after removing sensitive data.

Hi @Pricey79 

 

If you want to know when the status changed to "Approved" then there must be a date column in the dataflow to track the changes. pls check for this

@amitchandak Thank you for taking the time to reply

Sorry, what Date field should go here?  = if([Status]= "Approved", [Date], blank())

I get a red squiggly line under the word date

 

Thank you 

Hi @Pricey79 

if the dataflow has column [Status] & [Date] both, then you can use the Dax expression mentioned by amit. otherwise it will show a red line under [Date] because the dataflow doesn't have this column.
Perhaps you need to contact the owner of the dataset to add the date column in dataflow.
