I want to add a column to the table below with the parent name using the parent id and then delete the parent rows and parentID column to give the second table. What is the best way of getting the parent name into a column? Any pointers gratefully received.

Excel Facts

Return population for a City
If you have a list of cities in A2:A100, use Data, Geography. Then =A2.Population and copy down.
Could you please delete it, it was wrong.

Hi,
Power Query:
let
    Source= Excel.CurrentWorkbook(){[Name="Table1"]}[Content],
    Join = Table.NestedJoin(Source,{"PARENT ID"},Source,{"ID"},"Table",JoinKind.LeftOuter),
    Expand = Table.ExpandTableColumn(Join, "Table", {"NAME"}, {"PARENT NAME"}),
    RC = Table.RemoveColumns(Expand,{"PARENT ID"})
in
   RC
