Solved

reporting on data in 3 different models

Ok, I come to the many for help again.

 

So i have the following models:

 

This is the initiative level,  1 of 2 top level items

Rollout level is at the same level as Initiative

These 2 levels are are linked to a higher level RMPM by parent issue key, but thats not important, as I only want to report on this level.

 

This is the epic level, linked to either initiative or rollout via the parent issue key

 

The below is the story/task model, which is linked to the epic model by Parent issue key

 

What i want to is display this is a matrix, i have managed to create the first part creating a hierarchy by using the related function on the epics model to collect all the parent issues into a new column, so it can go from the top level down to tasks and stories.

 

Now where i am having difficulty is picking up the different statuses at each level, if it was only 1 level up, i would use 

Issue Status 2 =
IF(
HASONEVALUE('Task'[ISSUE_KEY]),
MAX('Task'[ISSUE_STATUS_NAME]),
RELATED('Epic'[ISSUE_STATUS_NAME])
)
 
But because I want to see the status of the initiative and rollout as well, I'm stuck. Can anyone help, I'm guessing if this one can be solved i can use the same solution to do the same for the summary as well
 
Any help greatly appreciated,
Jeff

    So the pattern I use for hierarchies is to check the scope from the deepest level on up.

     

    See if this makes sense to you:

    Status Switch =
SWITCH (
    TRUE (),
    ISINSCOPE ( Story[Issue Key] ),      SELECTEDVALUE ( Story[Status] ),
    ISINSCOPE ( Epic[Issue Key] ),       SELECTEDVALUE ( Epic[Status] ),
    ISINSCOPE ( Initiative[Issue Key] ), SELECTEDVALUE ( Initiative[Status] ),
    ISINSCOPE ( Rollout[Issue Key] ),    SELECTEDVALUE ( Rollout[Status] )
)

     

    If you aren't familiar with SWITCH ( TRUE(), ... ), I recommend reading this:

    I want the matrix to eventually look like this:

     

    Now I can do it using the formula above, if there is only one layer, but need to work out how to do it another way, if anyone can show me how to use isinscope, i will read the link, but i'm not great at powerbi yet.
