employee hierarchy i need add column parent (with departmentcode & rank)

hi all!

 

i need addcolumn with parent index for make hierarchy chart with employee

 

i have two table. which one is about employee, and department code.

 

employee table have employee name / index / department code / upper department code / ranks(president : 1, executive managing director : 2 ,Managing Director :3 ..... and so on

index is that i add all (by sorting with rank )

 

and department table have departmentcode /  department name / upper departmentcode / upper departmentname

like just 

departmentcode /  department name / upper departmentcode / upper departmentname

C000  / sosomart / 0 / 

200 / salesteam1 / 190 / salesteam

210 / salesteam2 / 190 / salesteam

190 / salesteam / C000 / sosomart

300 / marketingteam1 /  290 / marketingteam

301 / supergroup /300 / marketingteam1 

310 / marketingteam2 /  290 / marketingteam

290 / marketingteam / C000 / sosomart

 

 

there are no column with who is team leader,

so it need just add that grouping department and add parent with rank (who is small ranks)

 

i think this code is best on my brain, but i can't fill the department leaders parents

is there some solution with it?

 

 

 

 

    rankedTable = Table.Group(
        removeRankColumn, 
        {"departmentcode"}, 
        {{"rankcolumn", each 
            let
                indexedTable = Table.AddIndexColumn(Table.Sort(_, {{"rank", Order.Ascending}}), "rankcolumn", 1, 1, Int64.Type),
                
                minRankIndex = List.Min(indexedTable[rankcolumn]),
                
                newColumn = Table.AddColumn(indexedTable, "parent", each 
                    if [rankcolumn] = minRankIndex then null else indexedTable{0}[index]
                )
            in
                newColumn
        }}
    ),


    expand = Table.ExpandTableColumn(rankedTable, "departmentcode",{"name","rank","departmentcode","upperdepartmentcode"....."parent"}),
