Hierarchy with Matrix table - Cant get the ideal hierarchy.

Fellow Bi'ers

Im trying to create a hierachy matrix table in Power BI. This hierachy is simplified in the table down below.

 

DepartmentParent dep 2Parent dep 3parent dep 4Value
Amsterdam storeHollandEuropeEurope1
Food (Amsterdam store)    Amsterdam storeHollandEurope5

 

Just to make sure - Value is part of the 'Department' column. So department 'Amsterdam store' is a parent department in the next row.

 

When i create a matrix in Power BI, this is the result

Now the dream scenario would be to have 1 hierarchy - with those 2 values.

Instead the results of the table shows a double hierarchy, which is understandable, just not what i want ( especially with 500 rows for example).

Are there any tips and tricks to achieve 1 hierarchy - with ALL values.

Hi @Anonymous ,

 

Do you want the following hierarchy? Just change the order of the fields.
