Hi
I don't seem to be able to affix any text to =PARENT()? I want to have each of 6 child rows as:
=PARENT().01
=PARENT().02
=PARENT().03
=PARENT().04
=PARENT().05
=PARENT().06
Any thoughts?
Thanks
Cheers
Richard
You would need to use something along the lines of
=PARENT() + ".01"
Arh, thanks Paul
No worries.
Is there any way to make it self increment for the children under the parent?
and also, i see how you add, how could i remove to do this:
00.00.00 as the parent, and then increment the children below like:
00.00.01, 00.00.02, 00.00.03, 00.00.04. Ie I think you would need to remove the 00 and then replace with 01 and increment from there.
I haven't been able to find a fully automated way. Unfortunately every way I have found thus far requires some manual entry.
I found a way that requires 1 helper column for the first level of Hierarchy and 2 helper columns for every level after that. It does NOT hold up to sorting, but will hold up to the addition/deletion of rows as well as changes to the levels. The published link is below. The formulas are in row 1, row 2 is a buffer, and row 3 starts the actual sheet. If you were to delete rows 1 and 2, you would change any row 3 references to row 1 references ([Column Name]$3 becomes [Column Name]$1).

Hi Paul
That's brilliant, thanks.
Not wanting to push it! I like to do a preceding '0' on single digit numbers so that all numbers are two digit allowing me to go to 99. Is that something easily achievable. No worries if not, I'll take what you've given me. Much appreciated.
Go ahead and take a look now. Let me know what you think.
Looks good.... apart from where line 10 starts, I would of thought this should be '02.01' and line 14 be '02.02' and line 17 be '03.01' etc...
Good catch. Standby...
Sorry for the delay. We are getting some winter weather here. Anyway... Take another look. I am confident I have it set now...
Hi all, I am trying to build out a formula that will return "True" if the CIF #@row can be found above it in the same column (CIF #) AND the Days Since Created is between 30 - 365 days. All of the formulas I have tried have only gotten me so far as the "AND". Adding in the dates screws it up. The goal is to determine if…
I am getting a lot of REF errors for my predecessors and I can't figure out why. At first I thought I might have REF for predecessors to predecessors but that's not the case. When I export the file into Excel it shows the IDs in the place where it shows REF in SS. Each time I refresh the file I feel like different values…
I am trying to create a sheet summary, where the field is a formula that relies on a contact card within a column. However, it keeps returning a result of "#NO MATCH". The columns involved are, 1:) Priority (symbol column) for Up, Unchanged, and Down, and 2:) Contact Card column. I am trying to get a sheet summary formula…
