Getting the successor up to 3rd Level

[Anonymous]

Dear Guru of PowerBI,
I have this table with three columns :
Worker Name | Successor | Status Plan

A worker could have not a successor or could more than 2 (from 0 to 3).
If I do manually the search 
1) Take Worker Name
2) See Successor 
3) Take Successor and look it up in Worker Name column

With step 3, I'm able to find the successor, but with dax code I can't 

SuccLevel2 = 
VAR Suclevel1 = LOOKUPVALUE(<Successor Name>, <Worker Name>, <Worker Name>)
VAR Suclevel2 = LOOKUPVALUE(<Successor Name>, <Worker Name>, Successore1)

return Suclevel2

How can I do it?

Hi @Anonymous 

Thanks for the reply from @lbendlin .

@Anonymous , here is my testing for your reference:

My sample:

Create a calculated column as follows

CombinedSuccessors = 
VAR SuccLevel1 = LOOKUPVALUE('Table'[Successor], [worker name], [Worker Name])
VAR SuccLevel2 = LOOKUPVALUE('Table'[Successor], [worker name], SuccLevel1)
VAR SuccLevel3 = LOOKUPVALUE('Table'[Successor], [worker name], SuccLevel2)
RETURN
IF(ISBLANK(SuccLevel1), BLANK(), SuccLevel1) & 
IF(ISBLANK(SuccLevel2), BLANK(), "," & SuccLevel2) & 
IF(ISBLANK(SuccLevel3), BLANK(), "," & SuccLevel3)

Output:

If this sample data is structurally different from the one you are using, please provide some sample data and the results you are hoping for: How to provide sample data in the Power BI Forum - Microsoft Fabric Community Or show them as screenshots or pbix.

Have you considered using the PATH functions instead?

Yes, I've considered PATH function but since some successor are not present in dataset, PATH returns an error (That is correct).
