DAX Path to create herarchy - powerbi DAX firebase PATH The X must also exist in X.

I´m having an issue with Path

"Hierarquia = PATH('Itens do Demonstrativo'[DGBI_LINHA_IDPAI], 'Itens do Demonstrativo'[DGBI_LINHA_ID])" is saying "powerbi DAX firebase PATH The X must also exist in X. Please add the missing data and try again."

However, if you look at the logic, LINHA_ID = 2 is the lowest level of the hierarchy and doesn´t have anything above him.

Your dax says ...

Hierarquia = 
PATH(
'Itens do Demonstrativo'[DGBI_LINHA_IDPAI], 
'Itens do Demonstrativo'[DGBI_LINHA_ID]
)

 

Therefore DGBI_LINHA_IDPAI = 2 is missing  

or you have the parents and child the wrong way wrong?

 

Try ..

"Hierarquia = 
PATH(
'Itens do Demonstrativo'[DGBI_LINHA_ID],
'Itens do Demonstrativo'[DGBI_LINHA_IDPAI]
)

 

 

I want to help you more but your description is too vague. Please write it again.


You will get a quicker and better response without misunderstandings if you put time and effort into carefully writing a clear problem description with example input and output data. Look forward to helping you when this information is forthcoming


* Please DON'T copy & paste your DAX that does not work and expect us to fathom what you want. (That is just crazy). ‌‌
* Please DO give a simple non-technical functional description of what you want
* Keep it simple and break large projects into smaller questions and ask just one question per ticket.
* Rename columns to user friendly names. Avoid your own system jargon that we may not understand.
* Most importantly please provide example input data as table text (not a screen print) so helpers can import the data to build a solution for you. (Learn how to share data below)
* Provide the example desired output, with a clear step-by-step description of calculations and the process flow.
* Take time and care to use the same table and field names in the input, output and description so we can understand your problem and help you.
* Remove any unneeded tables, rows or columns which may cause confusion. Keep it short and concise with the minimal information regarding the key problem.
* Remember not to share private data ... we don't want you to get into trouble. ‌‌
