A11101test200012365
WBS01test300044354

A11102test354454345
WBS04test132134535
WBS05test789933257

and it should look like

1NW0001A11101

Hi,

On application loading you have to define the such type of architecture that you want to define for object if the value of the object is fixed or not changeable.

Hi,

You have to create a object like

if(Object = '1NW0001',Object) as object,

if(Object = 'A11101',Object) as object1,

if(Object = 'WBS01' or Object = 'WBS02' or Object = 'WBS03',Object) as object2

on the load script.

You should be able to do something along the lines of (excuse my pseudocode):

Load if(left(Object,1)='W',previous(ParentObject)), if(left(Object,1)<>'1',previous(Object)) as ParentObject, Object

From YourExcel;

Using "Previous" with a conditional should allow you to create an additional two columns which will contain the relevant value or values from the previous row. This assumes your hierarchy is three-tiered (otherwise you'd need more nesting) and that you have a condition for figuring out which hierarchy level each row belongs to. You may have to tweak the syntax some, but the concept should be sound.

Good luck.
