Hello,
We've a table generated from a legacy application that generates a list of parent-child relationship like a tree or an employee hierarchy listing.
[TABLE="class: grid, width: 500, align: center"]
<tbody>[TR]
[TD]Label[/TD]
[TD]ID[/TD]
[TD]ParentID[/TD]
[/TR]
[TR]
[TD]A[/TD]
[TD]1[/TD]
[TD][/TD]
[/TR]
[TR]
[TD]B[/TD]
[TD]2[/TD]
[TD]1[/TD]
[/TR]
[TR]
[TD]C[/TD]
[TD]3[/TD]
[TD]1[/TD]
[/TR]
[TR]
[TD]D[/TD]
[TD]4[/TD]
[TD]2[/TD]
[/TR]
[TR]
[TD]E[/TD]
[TD]5[/TD]
[TD]2[/TD]
[/TR]
[TR]
[TD]F[/TD]
[TD]6[/TD]
[TD]3[/TD]
[/TR]
[TR]
[TD]G[/TD]
[TD]7[/TD]
[TD]4[/TD]
[/TR]
</tbody>[/TABLE]
We want to find all the paths to every leaf a node has access to. So the output of the above table should look like:
[TABLE="class: grid, width: 500"]
<tbody>[TR]
[TD]G[/TD]
[/TR]
[TR]
[TD]D ->G[/TD]
[/TR]
[TR]
[TD]B -> D -> G[/TD]
[/TR]
[TR]
[TD] B -> E[/TD]
[/TR]
[TR]
[TD]E[/TD]
[/TR]
[TR]
[TD]F[/TD]
[/TR]
[TR]
[TD]C -> F[/TD]
[/TR]
[TR]
[TD]A -> C -> F[/TD]
[/TR]
[TR]
[TD]A -> B -> D -> G[/TD]
[/TR]
[TR]
[TD]A -> B -> E[/TD]
[/TR]
</tbody>[/TABLE]
The rows run into thousands and unknown levels and hence looking for something recursive as well a something that can handle the load (probably MS Access but that doesnt support recursive commands) Further complexity is that the system output can have multiple trees within it, with possible overlap i.e. there can be multiple top nodes.
Is this something that can be addressed via VBA?
