Hello everyone,
I am struglling to create a hiearchy for my regions. I have create groups and its all working fine for drill down purposes and I have tried to use the same groups for hiearchy slicer but it did not work as i wanted. the drop down was not available and the group apppeard without the possibility of rolling them down to the next level.
Here is a little view of how my data is set up if any of you can help me with my request.
| Rest of the world | Asia | Europe | UKI |
| City 1 | City 1 | City 1 | City 1 |
| City 2 | City 2 | City 2 | City 2 |
| City 3 | City 3 | City 3 | City 3 |
| City 4 | City 4 | City 4 | City 4 |
| City 5 | City 5 | City 5 | |
| City 6 | City 6 | City 6 | |
| City 7 | City 7 | City 7 | |
| City 8 | City 8 | City 8 | |
| City 9 | City 9 |
I would like to have 4 main regions in my hiearchy slicer and then use the drop down to roll the cities under each region.
Thank you in advance.

Hi Mariusz,
I cannot open your pbi file as i have an older version of power bi and cannot switch to the recent one.
thanks for trying anyway
Hi @Mariusz , this is exactly how it should look like.
I have managed to open your file on another computer.
Im wondering which steps can i take to have the same result as you did ?
Thanks
EDIT
Hi again @Mariusz, i solved my issues by simply duplicating the list as you have shown me on excel and imported it directly
It all good now. thanks a lot
If the data in given format, you have to unpivot it

hi @amitchandak ,
I have tried your solution and now i can see a region but the underlying cities are either shown as blank or i can only see one.
Any suggestions on how i can solve this ?
Thanks
