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 | ID | Parent ID | Expected_Output (Parent of Parent) |
| foo | 10 | 12 | 15 |
| bar | 12 | 15 | 18 |
| baz | 15 | 18 | |
| buzz | 18 |
