Lookup Function

Here is my challenge:

 

I have the following, all in one Table:

 

Person ID           DISPLAYNAME                     SUPERVISOR

123                     Jane Doe                              456

456                     John Fort                              789

789                     Bill Will                                 159

...etc...

 

I have other values in the table, but I think I need to focus on these. 

 

How can I create a column that displays the Supervisor's DISPLAYNAME?  So instead of just seeing "456" as the Supervisor, I could see "John Fort" as a new column (SUPERVISORDISPLAYNAME).

 

Very new to Power BI and functions in general; looking forward to learning.
