    Hi,

    I am not 100% I understood your goals. Anyway when it comes to defining balance sheet and profit and loss accounts functions such as PATH + PATHITEM are quite useful (you could use these to define all sorts of hierarchial logics with key pairs. Additionally I would look into enriching the data at account level either in PQ or with DAX .e.g you could create a custom column in PQ which would contain start and end account based on the range values you have and then expand this to multiple rows thus creating +/- information on account level. The main benefit of doing this on account level is that you could ignore some of the challenges posed by hierachy. Alternatively you could create the hierarchy logic entirely within the SWITCH. 

    I hope these suggestions/ideas help you with the issue at hand!
