Hi @willtunechi,
If you have only one level in your hierarchy and need to perform this operation only for "123", you can create a new table like this:
In plain text:
New Table =
VAR _tbl = UNION ( SELECTCOLUMNS ( FILTER ( Data, [Item] = 123 ), "Component", [Component] ),
{ 123 } )
RETURN CROSSJOIN ( SELECTCOLUMNS ( { 123 }, "Item", [Value] ),
SELECTCOLUMNS ( FILTER ( Data, [Item] IN _tbl ), "Component", [Component] ) )
Best Regards,
Alexander
Thanks for the answer, there will be more than 10 levels
Missed that point, sorry.
I'd use PATH then, but it doesn't accept multiple parents as in your case.
