Find Parent of Parent with DAX

I have simple task, I need to obtain the 'Grandparent' of an item. The Parent ID is already a column in the data, just need the Granparent ID. I tried LOOKUPVALUE, but I don't know what the 3rd argument will be?

 

 

Parent_of_Parent_ID = LOOKUPVALUE('Table'[Parent ID], 'Table'[ID], )

 

 

 

 

Name           IDParent ID                       Expected_Output (Parent of Parent)
