Creating Hierarchies

Hi All,

 

I am pretty new to Power BI. I have a problem in hand for which I'm trying to find a solution. I have a column in a table with values like

Apple wez

Apple abc

Apple xyz 1

Mango 123

Mango fas 1

Mango kfj 3

Mango llc

 

I was wondering if it is possible to create a Hierarchy on this column with parents and children like

Apple (Parent 1)

- Apple wez

- Apple abc

- Apple xyz 1

Mango (Parent 2)

- Mango 123

- Mango fas 1

- Mango kfj 3

- Mango llc

 

The above data is just a sample, very much similar to the actual data. In actual, the column contains many values like this which should be grouped appropriately (maybe by using wildcard pattern matching)

 

Any kind of help is appreciated. Thanks in advance!

@Anonymous here is sample code, go to query edit, and add blank query, in advanced editor, paste below code. Apply the changes and one table is loaded, put a matrix visual, add fruit type and fruit column on rows and drill down and you will get the result

 

let
    Source = Table.FromRows(Json.Document(Binary.Decompress(Binary.FromText("i45WciwoyElVSExKVorVgfEqKqsUDMF838S89HwFQyNjJF5aYjGKbHZalgKyfE4OslnlqVVKsbEA", BinaryEncoding.Base64), Compression.Deflate)), let _t = ((type text) meta [Serialized.Text = true]) in type table [Fruit = _t]),
    #"Changed Type" = Table.TransformColumnTypes(Source,{{"Fruit", type text}}),
    #"Added Custom" = Table.AddColumn(#"Changed Type", "Fruit Type", each Text.BeforeDelimiter([Fruit]," " ))
in
    #"Added Custom"

@Anonymous in query editor, add another column and extract value before space delimiter, it will create apple, mango etc.. value and then you can easily create this hiearchy
