    Extensive Tree Structure

    In the thread located here http://www.excelforum.com/excel-prog...ml#post2310968 I asked for a macro that would resolve the tree structure of an organization, showing who reports to who all the way down the chain.

    The macro developed worked well for the sample data, and went 4 levels into the structure, providing output like this:

    However, it couldn't cope with the full data, which has 8 or more levels of management, such as

    The attached spreadsheet has the source data on Sheet 1, and on Sheet 2 a representation of what the output should look like. Any help I can get on getting to the desired output would be greatly appreciated.

    It's not very efficient but it should get there in the end.

    The attached formats the output a little differently, but accommodates arbitrary depth. It does 10K names in about 3s.

    Re: Extensive Tree Structure

    Mrice,
    I'm trying your macro now. It's been running for 5 minutes, and it's up to line 3500, so I understand what you meant by "not very efficient". But I look forward to the results.

    SHG,
    Some days the network here allows me to open or save zipped files from the forum, some days it doesn't. Today it doesn't. Can I get you to post just the macro?

    Thanks to both of you for your help on this!

    The Sort object does not exist prior to Excel 2007, hence the error.
