[Urgent] Brake problem on E220 (A207)

I need urgent help on the brake of my A207. Today, I have performed brake bleeding on my A207 using a vacuum pump. Although it was my first time doing brake bleeding on my A207, I have done several times on my Audi A4. Thus I have done in same way. After bleeding brake, I cannot feel any resistance on my brake pedal and it is very soft. When I try to change to 'D' from 'P', it is saying I need to apply brake to even if I push the brake pedal. It seems none of the brakes does not work after bleeding. Could you please help how I could resolve this?

Thank you for your help in advance.

Thank you for the files. It is same as the procedure what I did. After I completed the break bleeding, I cannot feel any resistance on my brake pedal. Even if I press a brake pedal, the instrument cluster is saying 'Apply brake to deselect P position'.

This does occur from what I am aware if there is air still in the main cylinder. This can also happen if the fluid went too low in the reservoir while bleeding. There is still air in the system and most likely at the main cylinder area. You may just have to bleed all calipers again starting with the caliper the farthest away from the cylinder and always keep filling the reservoir with each caliper. If that does not work I am out of ideas...

The problem has been solved. It seems the bleeding of brake fluid is better to be done with engine running, which can prevent air in ABS/SBC brake pump.
