    numbered sub headings

    Does anyone have a formula that can automatically create a numbered sub-heading based on the number above it, like so:

    3 <= My number
    3.1 <= automated sub-heading...
    3.2
    3.3
    3.4
    4 3 <= My number
    4.1 <= automated sub-heading...
    4.2
    4.3
    4.4

    Assuming these subheading are going to be the only thing in the cell. Assuming you've filled in all of your numbers and they range from A2:A50
    and you want 5 subheadings after the value in A50

    Select A2:A55
    F5 (GoTo) Special> Blank Cells
    Click in the formula text box
    Type =A2+0.1 and hold down the control key + Enter

    Copy>Paste Special > Values to make them constant
    Did that work for you?

    substitute commas with semi-colons if your region settings requires

    clever :-D
    worked like a charm. I was hoping for a formula as another user will be using the spreadsheet but this works too!
