Dax Calculated column for indirect reports

Good Morning,

 

I have career history data in a table and I'm trying to calculate how many indirect reports each manager has. I've done this for direct reports but indirect is proving more challenging. There can be up to 7 links in chain of command.

 

The challenge is that this data is monthly, typically the last day of the month, 31/03/2023, 30/04/2023, 31/05/2023 etc added to the bottom of the table and I'm trying to calculate how many indirect reports each manger has in that month, so that the front end visuals can be changed to show as is for different months.

 

The data is all in the same table with columns:

Person Number 

Manager Person Number

Status Date

# Direct Reports

 

Thanks

    Edit to add i have tried using PATH and that does exactly what I want it to do but doesn't have the option to filter to only rows with the same status date.

      Hi,

      Please see below data to illustrate the format. I've got the column for Direct Reports calculating but it's the column for Indirect reports that I'm struggling with.
