Remove Blank rows from a Hierarchy in a matrix table.

I am having a table where there are heirarchical parental levels to the Name column.

 

Level 1level 2Level 3Level 4Name
A1B1  Activity 1
A1B2C1D1Activity 2
A2B3C2 Activity 3
A3   Activty 4


When I create a matrix table, some of the parent levels of the name columns are blank. But the matrix table doesnt recognize this and creating a blank rows for each levels as shown below.

While it is possible to prune dead branches with custom visuals  you seem to want to collapse branches with dead parents. That is not currently possible in any visual, and it will most likely result in user confusion anyway.  Better cleanup your data.  There should be no blank parent elements in any hierarchy.
