Hi @Bi-user 

Top Level =
MAXX ( 

FILTER (

Table1,

Table1[Top Level] = "Yes" 

&& Table1[Level 1] = Table2[All Levels] 

),

Table1[Level 1]

)

 

Only Level 2 =
MAXX ( 

FILTER (

Table1,

Table1[Top Level] = "Yes" 

&& Table1[Level 1] = Table2[All Levels] 

),

Table1[Level 2]

)

 

Only Level 3 =
MAXX ( 

FILTER (

Table1,

Table1[Top Level] = "No" 

&& Table1[Level 1] = Table2[Only Level 2] 

),

Table1[Level 2]

)

Thank you !  For the top level we are good but in table 1 there are multiple values of NOTTopLevel items corrisponding to diverse level 2 values! So for onlylevel 1 in table 2 it brings just one value ! I may have better luck if I seperate those levels in Table 1 instead !

the problem is I can not manipulate the datamodel and relationship otherwise it would have been much easier! 

 

I'm trying to work on table one since those multiple values seem impossible to be retrieved ! I'll use the structure added one more condition to identify the level 1 which are parent to Level 2 . I'll let you know if it works , thank u
