Default Q: macro - enumerating in excel


Although this could be done with a macro (programming), I think you can
accomplish your goal much more easily with a formula.

put a 1 in column A next to your first question, then put this formula in
the next row in column A and copy it all the way down. This assumes your
first question starts in B1 (so this formula would be in A2); adjust the row
numbers accordingly.

=IF(B2="Question",MAX(B$1:B2)+1,"")

Hi all,

this problem to all of you may look trival, but I need some help with this.

I got the sheet in excel looking like this :

A B
Question
a) answer 1
b) answer 2
c) answer 3
d) answer 4

Question
a) answer 1
b) answer 2
c) answer 3
d) answer 4

and so on..

I need to put the numbers in the row A so they are in front of each
"Question". They should start with 1. and finish with the last "Question" in
the table.
The number of answers differ, there are 4 or 5 answers for the each
question.

Is this doable ?

Thanks in advance !
