Hello,
I have an issue about displaying the BOM in a tree view.
My data has the following shape :
| Product | ProductComponent |
| ProductA | Comp1 |
| ProductA | Comp2 |
| ProductB | Comp1 |
| ProductB | Comp3 |
| ProductB | Comp4 |
| Comp3 | Comp33 |
| Comp3 | Comp34 |
| Comp4 | Comp41 |
| Comp4 | Comp42 |
I want to make a tree view of this BOM.
I tried to use the Child/Parent tree (https://ck-corp.github.io/TreePowerBIVisual/) it works very well but the problem is that I have childs with many parents, and that causes a problem in the visual. This visual is made for hierarchy, so child usually have only one parent.
I also tried the Sankey Chart, it works well for the direct childs, but I have many levels depth.
For example, Product B --> Comp3 --> Comp33 --> .....
Finally I tried the classic decomposition tree of Power Bi, but it doesn't deal with recursive BOM.
How can I handle this case ?
The goal is to have an expandable tree view with all the BOM.
Thanks for yout help !
Hi @Anonymous
Please explain what you mean by "it doesn'rt deal with recusive BOM". Show an example of this 'recursion'.

Hello @PhilipTreacy ,
By recursion I mean that in the same column, I have many level of depth.
I don't have a column for each depth level.
For example :
| Product | ProductComponentLevel1 | ProductComponentLevel2 | ProductComponentLevel3 | ProductComponentLevel4 |
| ProductA | Comp1 | |||
| ProductA | Comp2 | Comp1 | ||
| ProductB | Comp3 | Comp2 | Comp0 | |
| ProductB | Comp4 | Comp1 | Comp3 | Comp0 |
Such a representation could be easily used in a tree representation. But instead I have :
| Product | Component |
| ProductA | Comp1 |
| ProductA | Comp2 |
| Comp2 | Comp1 |
| ProductB | Comp3 |
| ProductB | Comp4 |
| Comp3 | Comp2 |
| Comp3 | Comp0 |
| Comp4 | Comp1 |
| Comp4 | Comp3 |
| Comp4 | Comp0 |
