Here is the steps:

1. Add an Index column in Query Editor,

 

2. Add a Rank column

Rank = RANKX(FILTER('Table',[test number]=EARLIER('Table'[test number])),[Index],,DESC)
 
3. Create the measures

Countout = CALCULATE(COUNT('Table'[result]),FILTER('Table',[result]="out"))+0
countintoout = IF([Countout]=0,COUNT('Table'[result]),CALCULATE(MIN('Table'[Rank]),FILTER('Table',[result]="out"))-1)

Basically you need to add an index and a rank column to identify the position of the "out" value. Then create a measure to find the place of the "out" value.

Please check the pbix for detail:

I'm having trouble opening a file from you. Can you insert a file that is not on OneDrive or screenshots of the table and measures.

What measures will look like when empty values ​​appear. The appear at the end of the test numbers.

The end result should be as you have obtained.

I guess you could still try the same formulas, because blank is also considered as a row value in power bi and the formula only looks for the "out “value, so ”in“ and ”blanks“ does not really matter.
