Adding a top level hierarchy list within existing hierarchy

HarunT

Hello,

In our current model, we have an existing hierarchy with let's call A and its child B. We want to add a new hierarchy list as X, and X will be the parent of A. As far as I know, adding a top hierarchy list should not cause any issues for the current modules with list A and list B dimensions and shouldn't ruin any existing functionalities, but I want to hear from fellow model builders if there is any issue I need to aware of or anything I need to do beyond adding the new hierarchy member. Thanks

Adding a level to the top or the bottom isn't a big deal, it is adding a new level in the middle of the current hierarchy is where you can run into some fun.

Hello @rob_marshall @HarunT and fellow anaplaners

Any advice when adding a new level in the 'middle' of a hierarchy?

Thanks!

New Level within Hierachy

I have an established hierarchy and need to add a new level within the middle of it.  Currently, the hierarchy looks like M1>M2>M3.  I will be adding a new level between M1 and M2.  The current M2 and M3 will be children of the new M2.  My concern is around the formulas already associated with the levels in their current positions.  I have multiple modules/dashboards already built using my current hierarchy. 

 

Are there any concerns or issues I should expect?  Has anyone done this before and can offer some guidance?
