    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.

    AlexisOlson I managed to get it to work for my status entry

     

    status 1 =
    SWITCH (
    TRUE (),
    ISINSCOPE ( 'Story/Task'[ISSUE_KEY] ), SELECTEDVALUE ( 'Story/Task'[ISSUE_STATUS_NAME] ),
    ISINSCOPE ( 'Story/Task'[PARENT_ISSUE_KEY] ), SELECTEDVALUE ( epic[ISSUE_STATUS_NAME] ),
    ISINSCOPE ( 'Story/Task'[init/roll key]), SELECTEDVALUE ( initiative[ISSUE_STATUS_NAME] ),
    ISINSCOPE ( 'Story/Task'[init/roll key] ), SELECTEDVALUE ( rollout[ISSUE_STATUS_NAME] )
    )
     
    but for some reason it doesn't work for my Summary entry using the same theory
     
    summary 1 =
    SWITCH (
    TRUE (),
    ISINSCOPE ( 'Story/Task'[SUMMARY] ), SELECTEDVALUE ( 'Story/Task'[SUMMARY] ),
    ISINSCOPE ( 'Story/Task'[Epic Summary] ), SELECTEDVALUE ( epic[SUMMARY] ),
    ISINSCOPE ( 'Story/Task'[initiative summary]), SELECTEDVALUE ( initiative[SUMMARY] ),
    ISINSCOPE ( 'Story/Task'[rollout summary] ), SELECTEDVALUE ( rollout[SUMMARY] )
    )
     
    i thought i'd gotten the idea, but no i lost it less than 5 mins after getting status working.

      I worked it out, they weren't linked by summary, so what i did was

       

      summary 1 =
      SWITCH (
      TRUE (),
      ISINSCOPE ( 'Story/Task'[ISSUE_KEY] ), SELECTEDVALUE ( 'Story/Task'[SUMMARY] ),
      ISINSCOPE ( 'Story/Task'[PARENT_ISSUE_KEY] ), SELECTEDVALUE ( epic[SUMMARY] ),
      ISINSCOPE ( 'Story/Task'[init/roll key]), SELECTEDVALUE ( initiative[SUMMARY] ),
      ISINSCOPE ( 'Story/Task'[init/roll key] ), SELECTEDVALUE ( rollout[SUMMARY] )
      )
       
      now it works like a dream, thanks for your guidance.
