Parent-child flattening (multiple levels)
Hello, I have an interesting problem to work out and I'm sure there's a very efficient and elegant solution using Power Query. Before I start tinkering myself (in probably not the most efficient way...

I didn't dive a deep into calculations, here is only suggestion for iterations.
We keep as it is now tBOM and tCalc1.
Levels are iterated by fntCalcQty:
( tCalc as table, tBasis as table, tAccumulate as table ) => let nextLevel = fnCalc( tCalc, tBasis ), addTable = Table.Combine( {tAccumulate, nextLevel} ) in if Table.RowCount( nextLevel ) = 0 then tAccumulate else fntCalcQty (nextLevel, tBasis, addTable)
It iterates till first empty table appears.
Final result is calculated as
let Source = fntCalcQty( tCalc1, tBOM, tCalc1), addSales = Table.Combine( {Source, tSalesRenamed} ), #"Grouped Rows" = Table.Group( addSales, {"Subpart"}, {{"TotalQty", each List.Sum([TotalQty]), type nullable number}} ), #"Sorted Rows" = Table.Sort(#"Grouped Rows",{{"Subpart", Order.Ascending}}) in #"Sorted Rows"
Above is in Variant 03 group in attached.
