How do I create a hierarchy from an input table (in Query Editor)?

[t_guet01]

Hey guys,

I do want to create a hierarchy - but not really the so called "hierarchy" in the DAX view. I mean an organizational hierarchy with different levels of aggregation. That's how my input data look like:

Ident	Name	Title	Level
animals	Animals		1
a02	Mammals	Animals	2
a0203	Dogs	Mammals	3
a020307	Retrievers	Dogs	4
a04	Fish	Animals	2
a0405	Sharks	Fish	3
a040509	Sawsharks	Sharks	4
...	...	...	...

I basically want an output table like this (down to level 4):

Ident	Level 1	Level 2	Level 3	Level 4
a020307	Animals	Mammals	Dogs	Retrievers
a040509	Animals	Fish	Sharks	Sawsharks

I tried with pivoting, but for the 4th level, ist leaves levels 1 and 2 blank, which I dont want.

Any ideas?

Thank you guys.
