Hierarchy

Hello all,

I am trying to build a hierarchy of 5 levels of management. Example below:

Level 1             Level 2             Level 3             Level 4             Level 5

Manager 1       Manager 2       Manager 3       Manager 4       Manager 5

Manager 1       Manager 2       Manager 2       Manager 2       Manager 5

Manager 1       Manager 2       Manager 3       Manager 3       Manager 5 

In soem cases, each level has a different manager and in some cases the rollup does not include different managers like rows 2 and three. Is there a way I can build such hierarchy without showing the repeating managers in different levels?

 

I hope I have been clear enough but please let me know if more details are required.

 

Thank you,

Sassan

It's quite a strange scenario that one person can have different managers.

 

I think it's better to have Employee (child) and Manager(parent) columns to display a parent-child hierarchy. In your scenario, you have different level hierarchies, you may create one table for each "level hierarchy" category.
