Hi, i like to write specifications in excel & wanted Auto Numbering as i often add new headings & to manually update all the numbers is to much effort.

I created a spreadsheet where if a "<" is added in column "B" and a heading in Column "C" then it would Auto Number in "D".

i am open to better ways of doing this, however when i get to 1.10, it shows it an 1.1, is there a way to overcome this?
I have attached a worksheet.

21 The project is to convert a 1st floor storage section of a warehouse into a new office
22 The space was once used as a canteen, although it has all been stripped out, it has some water, waste & a DB.
23 This storage area has limited services & will generally require all new services.
24 There space is completely open with high ceilings & will require a new 600x600 ceiling grid to be installed.
25 
26 There is a requirement to modify some existing external doors to create a new accessible entrance, these will require new power & motorised opening arms to the new doors.
27 
28 There is also a requirement electrically to install new lights into the GF lobby/ landing area at the bottom of the stairs. If this can be shown as a Prov sum, then it can be firmed up later.
