Is there a way to create a WBS formula that produces only whole numbers
I need a WBS formula that produces numbers that will be nothing more than 1, 2, 3,.... 878, 879, etc., regardless of indents and outdents.
I don't want, for example, "1.2.13.5"
Is this possible?
The reason I ask for a WBS-like solution is because if I rearrange the rows, I want the calculation to adjust accordingly. So if a task 872 gets moved up to three tasks above it, the new number will be 869.

Insert an auto-number column (called "auto" in this example).
Then insert a text/number column and use this column formula:
=MATCH(Auto@row, Auto:Auto, 0)
