Creating a Hierarchy in Power BI

[vsatamraju]

Hi All,

We are Clustered Column Chart in Power BI.

We are implementing the drill down feature for employee heirarchy from top to bottom according to the Organization depth. Now we want to show the Count of direct as well as indirect for each manager.

How can we do this ?

Thanks in Advance

Suppose the dataset is as the 3 columns highlighted. Create a calculated column [path] and table [calculatedTable] as below. Then use a measure subordinates in the chart.

path = PATH(Employees[Name],Employees[Parent])

CalculatedTable =
FILTER (
    CROSSJOIN (
        FILTER (
            ALL ( Employees[Name], Employees[Title] ),
            Employees[Title] = "manager"
        ),
        ALL ( Employees[path] )
    ),
    PATHCONTAINS ( Employees[path], Employees[Name] )
)

subordinates = COUNTA(CalculatedTable[path])-1

You can check more details in the attached pbix. Also check Understanding Functions for Parent-Child Hierarchies in DAX.

If it solves your problem, please accept it as solution. For any question, feel free to let me know.

Hi Eric, 

Thank you for this interesting piece of code; however, where do you enter the code for calculatedtable?

@vsatamraju to be able to create drill down in power bi visuals you need to drop multiple fields into Axis area. provided you have columns of organisational level, manager and count of employees you can use Pivot column feature in query editor in power bi desktop to seperate out organisational level as individual columns. you can then drop those fields into Axis area and count of employees onto Value area. 

The way you operate this depends on the structure of your data.
