Extracting Group indexes from a single column

Hi Everyone,
I've got the following sample data:

George1973_0-1658861504889.png

 

NameCodeParent
ProdGroup_0002 
ProdGroup_1022002
ProdGroup_204258022
ProdGroup_30903204258
ProdGroup_30413704258

 

As you can see, in the "Code" field are given not only the product codes, but also product group codes, which can be defined by "Parent" column (That they are really group indexes)

I would like to add calculated columns to that table, showing Groups and Subgroups in a right order, like given below:

Lvl0Lvl1Lvl2Lvl3
0020220425809032
0020220425804137

 

Thanks in advance for your suggestions,

Respecfully,

Additional Hint:
We have solved the issue in excel, with Vlookup function, but I can not create a measure in DAX for some reason. Here is a solution in excel:

Here is the formula:

=IF(C2="",1,(VLOOKUP(C2,B:E,4,FALSE)+1))
This formula generates 1,2,3...N ranges of the subgroup, helping me in defining the levels of the product categories. It's better solution what I wanted initialy.

Here is the sample data:

Prod_CodePARENTPARENT levelTree Levels
0001700612
0110700612
0123700612
0168700612
0171700612
0189200612
0189600612
0190300612
0203400612
0206500612
0220200612
0220800612
0223100612
0226200612

 

 I can not apply Lookupvalue measure, I do not why :))))

Please help,
