How can you automate Excel?
Press Alt+F11 from Windows Excel to open the Visual Basic for Applications (VBA) editor.
Please tell us how the Output relates to those two columns. I'm not getting the logic

How about:

Book3
ABCD
1LEVELPOSITIONOUTPUT - v1OUTPUT - v2
21111
3211.11.1
4221.21.2
5231.31.3
6241.41.4
7311.4.11.4.1
8321.4.21.4.2
9331.4.31.4.3
10341.4.41.4.4
11351.4.51.4.5
12411.4.5.11.4.5.1
13421.4.5.21.4.5.2
14431.4.5.31.4.5.3

Sheet1
Cell Formulas
RangeFormula
C3:C15C3=LET(p,".",s,SEQUENCE(10),levs,TRIM(MID(SUBSTITUTE(C2,p,REPT(" ",99)),s*99-98,99)),r,IFS(s<A3,levs,s=A3,B3,1,""),TEXTJOIN(p,1,r))
D3:D15D3=LET(p,".",s,SEQUENCE(10),levs,TRIM(MID(SUBSTITUTE(D2,p,REPT(" ",99)),s*99-98,99)),r,IFS(s<A3,levs,s=A3,(0&levs)+1,1,""),TEXTJOIN(p,1,r))


The C formula uses the value from column B, the D formula just increments the level from the row above by 1.

Thank you Eric for solution.
I would go with solution show in column C as sometimes position number are skipped in between.

My question: does formula in column C work if position number is >100 ?
