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

JeffT_3-1649323947310.png

Rollout level is at the same level as Initiative

JeffT_4-1649324001809.png

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

JeffT_6-1649324285544.png

 

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.

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] )
)

@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.

@AlexisOlson It doesn't work for me yet, but i understand how how it should work and will have a proper look on monday when i'm back in the office.

 

Thanks for your help.

I don't entirely follow what you're asking but when dealing with hierarchy aggregations, I find ISINSCOPE to be a useful function.
