Coloring and grouping a WBS in excel from P6 copy and paste

Member for

Hello Zoltan,

I'm using this formula to count the number of spaces at the beginning of each lines.

Then I use conditionnal formatting to color the lines based on the number of spaces.

The formula is unfortunately in french, hope this helps though.

 

=TROUVE(GAUCHE(SUPPRESPACE(D10),1),D10)-1

The English version should be:

=find(left(trim(D10),1),D10)-1

Regards, Jean

Thank you Zoltan.



I usually have a spreadsheet ready with a formula (that trims and detects the WBS level/activity) and conditionnal formatting that colors the WBS rows using P6 default color pallette. But a plugin would help to automate things better.
