Resourcing Hierarchy Visualisation

Hi guys, totally new to PowerBI and despite some hefty Googling I cannot work out if it can do what I am hoping it can do.

We monitor our teams and vacancies using Excel right now, in a table like this:

NAME: LEVEL: ROLE: MANAGER:

TomDirectorAccount OwnerNA
SarahSenior ManagerStakeholder LeadTom
TimManagerStakeholder ManagerSarah
SteveSenior ManagerCompliance LeadTom
SueSenior ManagerProject LeadTom
PaulManagerProject ManagerSue
VACANCYManagerProject ManagerSue
VACANCYSenior ManagerProgramme LeadTom

My question is... can Power BI represent this visually, automatically, in the same way you might be able to create a hierarchy Smart Art structure in PowerPoint.

If so, I don't need detail, I can learn that in my own time, but a rough idea of how to structure it would be really useful. Thanks!

Hi @ChrisIsProgramm 

 

Please consider the hierarchy tree visual, the effect is like this:

You can click the '...' in the Visualizations pane, and search for it.

i think you can do it by creating hierarchy.

You can create a hierarchy based on the Manager column to represent the organizational structure. To do this:

  • go to the Data view.
  • Right-click on the Manager column and select New Hierarchy.
  • Drag the Name column into the hierarchy to create a multi level hierarchy.

     


    for Visualizations
    :

    • Use the Hierarchy Slicer visual to allow users to interactively filter the data based on the organizational hierarchy.
    • Use a matrix visual to display the hierarchical relationship in a tabular format, with managers at higher levels and their subordinates listed below.
    • You can also explore custom visuals from the Power BI marketplace for more advanced visualizations of hierarchical data.
