building a hierarchy in the matrix table

I am trying to create a matrix table where I could show my organizational chart through a hierarchy based on who is reporting to whom based on the designation. For Example : Resource -> Supervisor -> Manager -> Director -> Sr Director -> Vice President -> SR Vice President OR Resource -> Manger -> Director -> SR Vice President. The issue is that I need to create a hierarchy based on the organizational hierarchy the psoition is designated but since the data is segregated into different levels based on the first level of data, the dataset looks like below

 

 

 

And I need a table showing an hierarchy something like this

 

Ideally I would have segregated the dataset based on the different designation to create a better hierarchy but since different people have different designation in the same row I am unable to create a hierarchy. 

 

I created a query to sort out the resoures to a unique column based on the levels in a particular row are empty or not.

 

ResourceName_v2 = IF(OrgHierarchy_v2[ResourceName_2]="", (IF(OrgHierarchy_v2[ResourceName_1]="",(IF(OrgHierarchy_v2[Supervisor]="",(IF(OrgHierarchy_v2[Manager]="",(IF(OrgHierarchy_v2[Director]="",(IF(OrgHierarchy_v2[SR Director]="","Empty",OrgHierarchy_v2[SR Director])),OrgHierarchy_v2[Director])),OrgHierarchy_v2[Manager])),OrgHierarchy_v2[Supervisor])),OrgHierarchy_v2[ResourceName_1])),OrgHierarchy_v2[ResourceName_2]) 

 

 

Is there a way or a visual where I can get the correct hierarchy to display the relavent information? Any help would be appreciated.

 

Sample data is uploaded to the following onedrive location

    Hi Anonymous,

     

    Sorry but I'm not quite understand your requirement. And the column names in your shared sample data don't match the column names in your query. So I don't understand your query either.

     

    Based on your sample data, did you mean the first level of hierarchy is ResourceName as in sheet OrganizationHierarchy, it is the values from right side? 

     

    Could you please share is your desired result based on your sample data? So that we can get a right direction.

     

    Thanks,
    Xi Jin.

    hi v-xjiin-msft,

    I need your help, as when i am trying to create hierarchy using matrix visual.

    Facing below issues:

     

    1) Blanks are appearing, if trying to apply visual filter complete level from its root gets vanished.

    Please provide a way to avoid blank in hiearrachy as it happens in hierarchy slicer.

     

    2) there are 4 more slicers apart from matrix slicer as and when i select any other slicer, matrix slicer automatically shows result of its top most member..it is quite annoying, have i need to set an property to stop defaulting to top most member even if it is selected somewhere else.

     

    Your help is needed.Thank you in advance.
