hi experts.  i hope i am posting in right place.  I have a formula question

I have several columns that begin with "SRH" followed by a number.. 8,9,10,11,12,14 ... I also have a column called Lead Owner

These represent names in Sales Resource Hierarchy, usually one of which is the owner of a LEAD or OPPORTUNITY.  For example, Gordie Howe may be at SRH12, and his manager, Jack Adams would appear as SHR 13.

I would like to write a simple formula by which I can identify Lead Owner and determine Lead Owner Manager. 

Something like IF LEAD OWNER=Gordie THEN determine SRHx THEN calculate SRH+ (Jack Adams)

Is it more appropriate to to this at ETL or BI Layer ... does it matter???

    It matters if performance matters and performance always matters ... do it in a flattened hierarchy structure via ETL; simpler to model in the RPD; easy DB retrieval.
