This was a challenging one since I've never used the Analytic Apps.

This solution will dynamically update the position numbers if the primary input is changed at all.  Thanks!

This was a fun introduction to building an analytic app.  Here is my solution:

Ok, having just written my little macro that scrapes the challenges index and which ones I've done I can now see the gaps.

So, starting back near the beginning and working my through...

First, I gave each line a record ID and transposed to get all values in one column. I then took one stream, filtered out the nulls and created a dummy value to use in the cross-tab. I then cross-tabbed the data and this became the values on the drop-down I was to use as a selector. This I then fed into a filter which was attached to the original stream. This applies the filter to the position number. This narrowed down the records to those that contain the value selected, joined it back to the original stream on the record ID and cross-tabbed back. 
A simple dynamic rename tool sorted out the column headers.

I wanted to make population of the drop-down dynamic and allow for changes in the hierarchy (e.g. adding and removing levels).

I was able to get the drop down to auto-populate and took some inspiration from @PhilipMannering for how to render the results.

A bigger workflow than the solution without using Formula
