Auto-generated interactive organisation chart

Hi all, I'd been tasked to modernize my organisations map of the different branches/ factions. 

I can extract all the data from our sharepoint but I'm curious on how to utilize it best. 

I'd like to have like a tree laid out in a hierarchy form with each image being interactive and linked to a sub-site with more information of that branch/faction. 

 

Is this something PowerBI can make or do I need some other office365 software?

 

Regards

We created an org chart using the standard Power BI Matrix visual.  Data resides in a standard RDBMS single table in a parent-child (supervisor-subordinate) style.  Write a recursive SQL query to query all the hierarchy levels and put it into a matrix like this:

There are so many visuals you can use for org charts

Hi, thank you very much for the reply.

However, I have an org of more than 700 ppl. How could that be displayed properly on the visual? I found the canvas is just tooooooooooo small for displaying even level 2 mgrs. There are about 8 levels in total. Also anyway I could search for an emplyee?

If anyone could help, that would be deeply appreciated!
