Managerial Hierarchy

Gday, 

 

I have a data set with two colums: EmployeeName and ManagerName. This is a recursive structure and *almost* fits the Heirarchy Chart visualisation constraints. The problems I have are:

 

- The *absolute* top record (the CEO) does not exist so there will be no records that have a NULL in the ManagerName field

- We want to be able to slice this data at any level to look at department/divison/team structures. Again, the top level manager will not have a NULL in the manager field. The manager of this department is managed by someone but they are not in our selection criteria.

 

I dont really need a visual flowchart as such, an indented (collapsible?) text based list would suffice. 

 

Does anyone have any experience in this area?

Finally got around this one. HeirarchySlicer was the answer. It allows you to hide empty nodes, whereas using a "non-blank" filter caused missing records in other slicers.
