Good work! Just to simplify the formula a bit:

let //Define your columns here
mytable=ChangedType,p="Parent",c="Child" 
  in
let mylist={Record.Field(_,c)} & List.Generate(()=>[x=0,y=Record.Field(_,p),w=1],each [w] > 0,each [z=[y], x=Table.Column(Table.SelectRows(mytable,each Record.Field(_,c)=z),p),y=x{0},w=List.Count(x)
],
each [y])
        in
Text.Combine(List.Reverse(List.RemoveItems(
List.Transform(mylist,each Text.From(_)),{null,""})),"|")
