Get only parents who has children record

[socksinbox]

Hi there,

I have a table which has records with parent/child relationship. Some records has parent id defined in the parentid column which itself a record in the table

e.g. 

Name  | Parent

rec1  |
rec2  | rec1

etc

The scope is to show records which has any child record.

Can you please help and let me know the easiest way to achieve this?

The final design is to show a table with all records and toggle button to let them switch from all records and records with a childern 

cheers

You want a calculated column in your table of records that will say TRUE if the record has a child (you can then create a slicer out of this column's values). Here's the formula:

[Has Child Records] = -- calculated column
var __parent = T[Name]
var __hasChildren =
	NOT ISEMPTY(
		FILTER(
			T,
			T[Parent] = __parent
		)
	)
RETURN
	__hasChildren

Best
