I have a very similar task as D3.js nesting and rollup at same time and solution provided by @altocumulus for d3.js v3 works perfectly fine for me (tested). However, I am using d3.js v4 across my website and I am having difficulties replicating the same approach with v4 - I am not getting the same results. Perhaps, because I don't understand the sumChildren function. Please feel free to provide a better or different approach on how to restructure the loaded csv file as json with subtotals at every node level using d3.js v4. In my case, I need to have Population at the Country, State and the City levels.
Disclaimer: I have been using SO for many years and in most of the cases I got my answers from questions posted by other people, but this is my first question. In addition to this I am noob in d3.js
population.csv:
Country,State,City,Population
"USA","California","Los Angeles",18500000
"USA","California","San Diego",1356000
"USA","California","San Francisco",837442
"USA","Texas","Austin",885400
"USA","Texas","Dallas",1258000
"USA","Texas","Houston",2196000
