I have a table which represents a hierarchical folder structure, along these lines:
+----+----------+------------+ | ID | parentID | folderName | +----+----------+------------+ | 1 | | Folder A | +----+----------+------------+ | 2 | 1 | Folder B | +----+----------+------------+ | 3 | 2 | Folder C | +----+----------+------------+ | 4 | 1 | Folder D | +----+----------+------------+
I would like to calculate the hierarchical path for each of the folders, using their names rather than IDs. I understand how to use the PATH function, but I'm not sure how to subsitute the ID for folderName.
Example of desired output:
+----+----------+------------+----------------------------+ | ID | parentID | folderName | folderPath | +----+----------+------------+----------------------------+ | 1 | | Folder A | Folder A | +----+----------+------------+----------------------------+ | 2 | 1 | Folder B | Folder A|Folder B | +----+----------+------------+----------------------------+ | 3 | 2 | Folder C | Folder A|Folder B|Folder C | +----+----------+------------+----------------------------+ | 4 | 1 | Folder D | Folder A|Folder D | +----+----------+------------+----------------------------+
Notes:
- Folder names are not unique, though the IDs obviously are
- The real data has a hierarchy which spans 20+ levels, and uses GUIDs rather than simple IDs
Sample data
I've put together a file with some mockup data, which can be downloaded here:

Thanks in advance for any help you can provide.
Solved! Go to Solution.
Check this calculated column please
PATH_ = VAR temp = ADDCOLUMNS ( ADDCOLUMNS ( GENERATESERIES ( 1, PATHLENGTH ( [folderPath] ) ), "MyID", PATHITEM ( [folderPath], [Value] ) ), "Name", LOOKUPVALUE ( [folderName], [ID], [MyID] ) ) RETURN CONCATENATEX ( temp, [Name], "|", [Value], ASC )

It works perfectly. Thank you so much for your help.
