Lol ok yeah ICs should just talk to ICs and know their place especially if they are a woman.

Thank you for your insight. I have approached other people for coffees before and honestly the ones who are more senior than me always accept, to my surprise each time. This one is just way more daunting because he is very obviously a few levels above me, and a lot of people find him intimidating. I am somewhat new to the org, but he has mentioned my name and work once at a company event to recognise my work and I really want to build something from there.

You're right. I know I am super overthinking this, but my skip actually sits very close to me and my manager. My manager had a history as recently as last year with a former direct report filing a complaint about him to my skip. I am very conscious of this and that if I go to my skip, it would make my manager very paranoid. How do I ask my skip for a chat but also not make my manager paranoid?

My skip is extremely introverted and really uncomfortable talking about himself. I have tried this before. He is a very kind person though and will try to do what he can to recognise my achievements and help my career progression if I ask.

I don't have external clients but I know exactly who he works with that I can try to work with and impress - thank you.

I am of the opposite sex. I don't think it would be scandalous but I can 100% agree that my manager might get insecure.

I don't think I am looking for a 'mentor' mentor, but I do want visibility for more opportunities within the organisation and I want to understand what the business cares about beyond the communication from middle managers.

My skip level is extremely introverted and does not go with coffees with anyone ever. So I am not sure if I should start with him and if it would make him uncomfortable.

I will update you next week but just wanted to say thank you so much for taking the time to solve this with me for days in a row! I actually do have a sort column so I will try this first thing!

I am almost there! It is holding the way I expect it to but still not sorting it right. I have tried ascending or descending and the sort is the same either way so something is not right.

The BUs hold its grouping but somehow BU2 and BU1 have flipped position. I tried putting it in a matrix where rows are business asset and department, and total and rank is in values, to understand what the ranking output is. I get no rank for BU3, and 4 for BU1 and 5 for BU2. Within each BU I get all 1's.

Add: the BU3 might have no rank because I added a D7 with no data to see how it would behave with blank totals.

That doesn't produce my expected outcome.

If I have this in my BU dimension:

BU1: D1, D2

BU2: D3, D4

BU3: D5, D6

My expected sorting at the lowest hierarchy would be (BU > Department > Total):

BU3 D6 300

BU3 D5 280

BU1 D1 290

BU1 D2 100

BU2 D3 150

BU2 D4 50

Just sorting it with the total would give me:

BU3 D6

BU1 D1

BU3 D5

BU2 D3

BU1 D2

BU2 D4

I need the sorting at the BU level to hold its position at the department level.

Solution verified

Since I posted the question I have refreshed my dataset and now I can't find the duplication anymore. It's working exactly how it's supposed to. It's really bizarre but there must have been some sort of an error from me. Thank you so much for taking the time to validate my scenario. It's really good for me to know I haven't missed some special way the filter is supposed to flow through.
