    Finding disabled parents in a menu hierarchy

    I have a permissions sheet that describes a set of hierarchical menus. The 'group' columns correspond to whether that group can access that menu.

    It's possible to enter a "Y" for a child even if the parent is disabled with an "N". That's a problem; the child won't be accessible if the parent is disabled.

    I'm trying to create a column that reports, for an enabled child, for which groups the child's parent is disabled.

    I have a formula that would work, but it's entirely hard-coded with approximately 150 tests (4 layers x ~40 groups). It's essentially a VLOOKUP on a query table (not shown) that reports all item / "N" combinations. Excel won't let me use it because it's too long.

    Power Query and VBA are both acceptable solutions for this.

    Any thoughts? Much thanks.
