Creating a WBS numbering system
Hi
IMHO don't use Excel for this. Excel just has no function built.in to do this. Project/Word is IMHO better suited for such tasks -- Regards Frank Kabel Frankfurt, Germany "M Houghton" <M schrieb im Newsbeitrag ... Looking for a way to number a work breakdown structure in excel.

Creating a WBS numbering system
Mark, try a formula like: in A2 =OFFSET(A2,-1,0)+N(OFFSET(A2,-1,1)="Cont") Custom Numberformat: "0\.0\.0" Using the offset function ensures formula integrity when lines are inserted or deleted. -- keepITcool | www.XLsupport.com | keepITcool chello nl | amsterdam M Houghton wrote : Looking for a way to number a work breakdown structure in excel.

Assuming the 1.2.3...... is Col A and 'Labor'.... is Col B
In A7 =LEFT(A6,FIND("~",SUBSTITUTE(A6,".","~",2)))&(VALU E(RIGHT(A6,LEN(A6)-FIND("~",SUBSTITUTE(A6,".","~",2))))+1) HTH, Gary Brown "M Houghton" wrote: Looking for a way to number a work breakdown structure in excel.
