I want to create hierarchy of these items. Means i want Asset at the top then US, UK, India etc as its children and so on. How can I achieve this in excel? Thank you in advance Regards prm |

Creating hierarchy in excel
So are you wanting to push each text string devided by a \ over to the next
column and then delete all reptitions of any text string down these columns?

Somewhat like that. I want Assets in first column, then only one entry for US
in second column and then all children of US in the next column. No repetitions required.

Creating hierarchy in excel
First, I'd use data|text to columns
Choose delimited by slash and finish up that wizard. But I wouldn't delete the duplicate entries. I find that I'll want them later (sorting/filtering/charting...) Instead, I'd hide the duplicates using conditional formatting. http://contextures.com/xlCondFormat03.html#Duplicate (from Debra Dalgleish's site) Pawan wrote: Somewhat like that.
