Hello,
I have a table with child-parent hierarchy with multiple parent and I need to filter it if I choose a particular element.
Here is my table :
| path | parentPath | idElement |
| 1 | 13 | |
| 1|2 | 1 | 14 |
| 1|2|3 | 1|2 | 15 |
| 1|2|4 | 1|2 | 16 |
| 1|5 | 1 | 17 |
| 1|6 | 1 | 18 |
| 7 | 14 | |
| 7|8 | 7 | 19 |
| 9 | 20 | |
| 10 | 21 | |
| 11|12 | 11 | 22 |
Now, if I choose an element, I want to keep parents and children, espacially in the case where the element appeared multiple times.
Here is an exemple if I choose element 14:
| path | parentPath | idElement |
| 1 | 13 | |
| 1|2 | 1 | 14 |
| 1|2|3 | 1|2 | 15 |
| 1|2|4 | 1|2 | 16 |
| 7 | 14 | |
| 7|8 | 7 | 19 |
It needs to work even if there is a parent of a parent or a child of a child.
Thank you !

Hi @Anonymous ,
Please try below steps:
1. below is my test table
Table:
Table2:
create with below dax formula
Table 2 = VALUES('Table'[idElement])
2. create a measure with below dax formula
Measure =
VAR _ie =
SELECTEDVALUE ( 'Table 2'[idElement] )
VAR tmp =
FILTER ( ALL ( 'Table' ), 'Table'[idElement] = _ie )
VAR tmp1 =
CALCULATETABLE ( VALUES ( 'Table'[path] ), tmp )
VAR tmp2 =
CALCULATETABLE ( VALUES ( 'Table'[parentPath] ), tmp )
VAR cur_ie =
SELECTEDVALUE ( 'Table'[idElement] )
VAR cur_path =
SELECTEDVALUE ( 'Table'[path] )
VAR cur_ptpath =
SELECTEDVALUE ( 'Table'[parentPath] )
RETURN
SWITCH (
TRUE (),
cur_ie = _ie, 1,
cur_path IN tmp2, 1,
cur_ptpath IN tmp1, 1,
ISBLANK ( _ie ), 1
)
3. add a slicer visual with Table2 field, add a table visual with Table fields, add measure to table visual filter pane and apply it
Please refer the attached .pbix file.
