Decomposition tree question

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.
