combining multiple columns into one column for a table visual

I have a table of employees. That table shows a hierarchy of who each employee roles up to in the organization. So for example in row 1 Dan reports to his Director Tina. Tina reports to her Vice president Michael  and Michael reports to the president Jenny. See the table below.

 

Employee    Director    Vice President  President        
DanTinaMichaelJenny
Dave MichaelJenny
BobCecilThomasJenny
Bill Carl SusanDannytony
SteveSusanDannytony
Cheryl GretaDannytony
Sam  Jim
DanaCandaceGaryPaul
Joe  Paul

 

 

I am trying to create a table visual that groups the director column , vice president column and president column into one Column and calculates the total count of employees for each director, vice president and president. So for example Jenny(president) has 3 employees that roll up to her (Dan, Dave, Bob).  Michael(vice president) has 2 employees that roll up to him (Dan and Dave). below is what the visual would look like. Any thoughts on how I can accomplish this ?

 

 

LeaderCount of Employees
Jenny   3
tony   3
jim   1
paul   2
Michael   2
Thomas   1
Danny   3
Gary   1
Tina   1
Cecil   1
Susan   2
Greta   1
Candace   1

hi @dw700d 

you may try to add a calculated table like:

Table = 
FILTER(
    UNION(
        ADDCOLUMNS( VALUES(data[President]), "Count", CALCULATE(COUNTROWS(Data))),
        ADDCOLUMNS( VALUES(data[Vice President]), "Count", CALCULATE(COUNTROWS(Data))),
        ADDCOLUMNS( VALUES(data[Director]), "Count", CALCULATE(COUNTROWS(Data)))
    ),
    [President]<>BLANK()
)
