Hi,
I'm trying to use Excel for software requirements and would like to have some kind of multilevel series of ID's, like 1.1, 1.2, 1.3 etc.

I'm much of a Excel rookie but will probably understand code.

I would like the series to auto increment based on some kind of level/indent/outdent, so if the series starts with 4, the next will be 5. If it starts indented like 4.1 the next must be 4.2. Also 4 levels is a requirement, like 1.1.2.3

Is this a feature in Excel like it is in Word 2010? Writing my own code, function or macro is too hard for me.

Anyone able to help? Thanks in advance!
 

Excel Facts

Which lookup functions find a value equal or greater than the lookup value?
MATCH uses -1 to find larger value (lookup table must be sorted ZA). XLOOKUP uses 1 to find values greater and does not need to be sorted.
