Hi There,
I have data for projects and project tasks at varying work breakdown levels.
e.g. One project may only have 2 levels Task 1 -> Task 1.1, Task 1.2, etc.
while another project has many more, Task 1 -> Task 1.1 -> Task 1.1.1 -> Task 1.1.1.1, Task 1.1.1.2, etc.
At the moment I have a table which has the following data:
- Project: What project it comes from
- Name: Name of Task
- WBS ID: e.g. 1, 1.1, 1.1.2, etc.
- Parent WBS ID: e.g. If I have a row for Task 1.1.1 the Parent would be Task 1.1
- WBS Level: Task 1 -> Level 1, Task 1.1 -> Level 2, etc.
- and various financial values at each level which are already aggregated depending on the equivalent values of child tasks.
My question is, is there a way within Power BI to convert data in this form to a table similar to the table below (ignore the Gantt chart, I just want the table to the left):
Solved! Go to Solution.
