Hi all!

 

I have what may be kind of a complex issue.

I’m currently working with a data set in power query and wondering whether there was any way (within either power query, if not perhaps with a DAX formula) to create a flag that will place students in one of three categories based on the order in which they completed a test. I would have to take into consideration the date as well as time (so if a student completed an array of tests on the same date, the time would determine into which category they fell)

I have attached a sample workbook with anonymized data as well as the desired result which will (hopefully) be a clearer reference.

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

Hi Jace,

That's tricky. I created a lookup table for the class order mapping to groups called 'Groups'. Then I unpivoted the original data and merged the first two classes together so I could use them in a lookup to the Groups table.

You can see in the attached file.

Note: There may be a more elegant way to achieve this.

Hope that helps.

Mynda

Actually this is doing exactly what I was looking for. Thank you Mynda!
