Path Function with multiple classification/grouping

Hi,

 

I am currently working on Org Structure data with Parent-Child heirarchy. My data consists of multiple companies and I want to build Path functions on it. example PATH, PATHITEM etc

 

Sample

Company_id   Employee_id   Supervisor_id

a                      1                                         

a                      2                       1

a                      3                       1

a                      4                       2

b                      1

b                      2                       1

b                      3                       1

 

Bu thtese functions need unique identifier. Is there a way I can group these items  by Company and run the path functions as new columns on them Tried the below dax function but it thre me an error

 

Path = SUMMARIZE(Data,Data[Company_Id],"Path",PATH(Data[Employee_Id],Data[Supervisor_Id]))
 
Thanks,
Brian Alva

@Anonymous , Create combine columns and try

 

Employee_Code = [Company_id] & "-" & [Employee_ID]

SupervisorCode = [Company_id] & "-" & [Supervisor_id]

 

 

or try a new column like  , I have not tested this

calculate(PATH(Data[Employee_Id],Data[Supervisor_Id]), filter(Data, Data[Company_id] = earlier(Data[Company_id])))

Thanks @amitchandak, The formula did not work but the concatenation did.
