PATH function with CALCULATE

Hi,

 

I have a hierarchy table with column "ID" and "Parent ID". In the same table, I have this hierarchy for each week, so depending the week, the "Parent ID" may changes.

 

IDParent IDWeekPath
1213|2|1
1222|1
1 31
2313|2
2 22
2 32
3 13
3 23
3 33

 

So the Path depends of the week.

I tried this :

 

Path = 
VAR Monitored_Week = 'Table'[Week]
RETURN

CALCULATE(
    PATH('Table'[ID],'Table'[Parent ID])
    ,FILTER('Table' ,'Table'[Week] = Monitored_Week))

 

 

But I have this issue :

Each value in 'Table'[ID] must have the same value in 'Table'[Parent ID]. The value '1' has multiple values.

 

I do not understand because inside the CALCULATE function, the Table is filtered only for the row with the same Week value.

Thank @Anonymous 

I understand the fact that the <ID_columnName> contains the unique identifier of the row in the table. That is why I want use the CALCULATE function in order to "Evaluates an expression in a modified filter context." 

Reference : CALCULATE function(DAX)

Hi @Anonymous ,

 

Could you tell me your logic in the red line part? I think the PATH function may not be applicable here.

Hi @Anonymous ,

 

 

PATH(<ID_columnName>, <parent_columnName>)  

 

<ID_columnName> contains the unique identifier of the row in the table. The ID column cannot have duplicate values.

 

 

Path = PATH([ID],[Parent ID])
