I have two column of level and its position numbers and need to create formula for output column as shown above.
 

Excel Facts

Format cells as time
Select range and press Ctrl+Shift+2 to format cells as time. (Shift 2 is the @ sign).
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

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 ?
