I have a data base that has different stage of ideas, I want to group these by creating a new column (Overall Idea status ) with the below values
Idea Review = Idea Review
Idea Feasibility= In progress
Solution development= In progress
Solution deployment = In progress
Business Impact Validation= In progress
Stakeholder Sign off= In progress
Closed = Closed
Dropped Idea = Dropped
Please can you suggest how can we do this?

Solved! Go to Solution.
Hi @sks2701
Just add a custom column with this code:
= if List.Contains({"Idea Feasibility", "Solution deployment", "Business Impact Validation", "Stakeholder Sign off"}, [Final])
then "In progress"
else if [Final] = "Dropped Idea" then "Dropped" else [Final]
Please mark the question solved when done and consider giving a thumbs up if posts are helpful.
Contact me privately for support with any larger-scale BI needs, tutoring, etc.
Cheers
