new column based on values in rows (direct query)

hi guys

i am trying to create a new column, named "startedyn" that will display "STARTED" on all the rows within the same "docentry" number, if one of the rows has "1" value in the "start_no" column. in my screenshot, not all the "start_no" values have 1. one of them has 0, but still the new column should display started on all the rows within the same docentry number. The dataset is direct query so i can't use something like startedyn = if (CALCULATE( MAX(Table[start_no]) ,ALLEXCEPT(Table,Table[docentry] )) > 0, "STARTED")

Hi, @bidav 

 

You can try the following methods.

Column:

startedyn = IF(CALCULATE(MIN('Table'[start_no]),ALLEXCEPT('Table','Table'[docentry]))>0,"started")

The formula for Measure is the same as the formula for calculating columns.

@bidav , I doubt you can create a column like that in direct query, you should create a measure
