How to use multiple tables to relate a task to a group

I have two table that have hierarchy and a task table, but I need to reference one to get the other binned correct.

 

Table 1 (Groups with manager and parent)

NameManagerParent
Eng JohnnyCorp

 

Used to create hierarchy for this with 3 levels (max path length)

 

Table 2 (Personnel Org Chart)

NameReports ToJob Title
JohnnyJonny's BossMan, Eng
MikeJohnnyJohny's Minion
JoanJohnnyJohnny's Other Minion

 

Again created a hierarchy with 8 levels.

 

Then there is a 3rd table that has tasks assign by Org. This table has a relationship with Table 1, that is working.

TaskAssignee 
Task 1Mike 
Task 2Joan  
Task 3Johnny 


How can I relate these to show that Eng has 3 total tasked assigned to them. 

 

TIA!!!

Hi @DCS2011 ,

 

Here I create a sample to have a test.

Table1:

Table2:

Table3:

Data model:

Measure:

Count = 
VAR _Manager =
    MAX ( 'Table 1'[Manager] )
VAR _NAME =
    CALCULATETABLE ( VALUES ( 'Table 2'[Name] ) )
RETURN
    IF (
        ISBLANK ( MAX ( 'Table 1'[Name] ) ),
        BLANK (),
        CALCULATE (
            COUNT ( 'Table 3'[Task] ),
            FILTER (
                'Table 3',
                'Table 3'[Assignee]
                    IN _NAME
                    || 'Table 3'[Assignee] = _Manager
            )
        )
    )

Result is as below.

Thank you I will test later today or tomorrow and report back.

 

Here is a follow up question in the mean time. Will it matter if a manager oversee more than one group?I will also confirm, but I think that relationship will be many to many.
