Lookup

Hello, 

Im new to this community and to PowerBi, hoping I could get some help. I use excel and v-lookups to find our employees supervisors. I use a file with all employees name and their immediate supervisors. I add columns and have 6 lookups to find the managers, directors, aVP, VPs all the way to the CEO.  How can I do that on PowerBi? I tried the lookup function but it error out. The table array is all in one sheet.

Hi,

I am not sure if I understood your question correctly, but please check the below picture and the attached pbix file.

It is for creating new columns.

DAX functions, LOOKUPVALUE, PATH and PATHITEM are used in this sample pbix file.
