Recursive Hierarchy; Managers and Employees

[PrintDream]

Hello PowerBI Community!

I am trying to accomplish an organizational hierarchy report based on a table Managers and Users. Sample data below:

As you can see, every employee should have a managerID associated to them.

The best visualization will most likely come from a Matrix or a Hierarchy Slicer, but it seems the dropdowns are not as recursive as I need them to be (i.e. Manager456->Manager123 should have the users of Manager123):

I assume I will need to write a query to build this heirarchy, but I do not know how many levels up/down I will have, so adding Paths/columns will not work here. Any anecdotes, examples or pointers are much appreciated.

Thanks,

PrintDream

2.Or you may try merge:

let
    Source = Table.FromRows(Json.Document(Binary.Decompress(Binary.FromText("i45W8jU0MlbSUQoFUbE6WPgmpmZAvi8aP9TcwlIpNhYA", BinaryEncoding.Base64), Compression.Deflate)), let _t = ((type nullable text) meta [Serialized.Text = true]) in type table [ManagerID = _t, UserID = _t]),
    #"Changed Type" = Table.TransformColumnTypes(Source,{{"ManagerID", type text}, {"UserID", type text}}),
    #"Merged Queries" = Table.NestedJoin(#"Changed Type", {"UserID"}, #"Changed Type", {"ManagerID"}, "Changed Type", JoinKind.LeftOuter),
    #"Expanded Changed Type" = Table.ExpandTableColumn(#"Merged Queries", "Changed Type", {"UserID"}, {"Sub.UserID"})
in
    #"Expanded Changed Type"

Familiarize yourself with the PATH functions.  Also figure out if your hierarchy is well defined or (more likely) ragged.
