hi,
I have a need to have dependencies between parent/children/grandchildren etc, I'm thinking I have to use a decomposition tree ?
Data looks like:
Key KeyDependency
1 blank
2 blank
3 1
4 2
5 3
6 3
7 5
You can see here parent 1 has child 3 and child 3 has child 5 and child 6 and it could go several layers deep.
I assume a decomposition tree is the way to go ?

Hi @EaglesTony
its best to break that parent child hierarchy in your table using DAX. Then you can visualize that however you want. Have a look at these tutorials.
