Create a composite hierarchy from a file where parent-child relations are expressed as two columns

Hi, Anaplaners

 

I have a question regarding how to create a composite hierarchy from a file where two columns alone indicate a hierarchy (parent-child relationship). Please see the attached for the detail. Is such a transformation possible ?

Thank you.

HI,

 

It is possible to create a hierarchy with the file you have attached but only thing you need to consider is you have to upload only the required rows into respective hierarchy list. For example,

 

Region L1 --> Have only first row and do the import by mapping "NA" parent into the name and code

Country L2 --> Have only first row and do the import by mapping NA as a parent and US as name and code

State L3 --> Have only 2nd and 6th row and do the import by mapping parent and child.....

 

But however this is not a good way to import hierarchy into the system. We need to have a file that shows clear hierarchy ie. Region,Country,State,etc.. in seperate column.

 

Thanks
