How to find First Not Empty/NOT NULL Cell across Columns and How to Handle When All Empty

Borrowing from this topic: https://community.alteryx.com/t5/Alteryx-Designer-Discussions/How-to-find-the-fist-not-null-cell/m-p... (thank you, MarqueeCrew for posting the solution)  which helped me with the first part of my solution. I have mostly all empty/null cells across 5 columns, but this solution only returns when there are values. How would I take this and enhance it to return the word "Due" if there is no starting number? Attaching the workflow I borrowed from another topic. I added the Browse tool to see what is happening at each step.

I figured it out. Just needed to change the joins, a Union and Formula tool. Attached is the fix.
