Use Network Graph by Powerviz to create entity/shareholder hierarchy with ownership percentage

Hi celine_84
Since Network Graph by Powerviz is an external visual and not a native Microsoft visual, the community here cannot fully confirm compatibility. The best approach is to check directly with the vendor’s support and documentation.

Hi celine_84 , Thank you for reaching out to the Microsoft Community Forum.
The issue you’re seeing happens because the visual treats each node code as a single unique point. When you add paths, entities like 020163 still appear only once, so their children won’t connect under every branch they belong to. You need to clone node instances for each distinct ownership path while keeping the original code as a label.
In practice, when you unfold ownership paths in Power Query or your database, generate a unique ID per node per path. Use these unique IDs as the node keys in the Network Graph and use the original codes only as labels. This allows the same entity to appear in multiple branches, preserving every ownership route correctly.
You can then filter by the root shareholder to show only the edges and node instances from paths starting with that shareholder. This avoids the split effect you see now, because each ownership path is visually distinct but still labelled with the true entity codes.
Hi v-hashadapu, the filtering with the PATH functions does not seem to work in my case. From what I have observed, the DAX PATH functions require a strict parent-child hierarchy where each parent can have multiple children but each child can only have one parent. My ownership structure is a graph with multiple branches (one entity can have multiple shareholders), which breaks this rule.
Do you have an alternative to suggest ? Maybe the Network Graph by Powerviz is not appropriate in my case.
Network graphs and hierarchies are slightly different things. Having said that, one approach to multiparent scenarios is to clone the child nodes like so Parent-Child Hierarchies with multiple parents in Power BI with Power Query
