    Question Module to assign parent part to bill of materials

    I have a huge analysis I need to complete, and have a problem I think can only be solved via VB code. I have done limited VB coding in access but nothing in excel before, so hope someone could whip up something that would work and I can tinker with.

    The code would have to run down the column looking for the parent part identified as 0 in column B, and then copy the parent part number in Column C to Column A for each row that has a sub part number of that parent. There can be any number of sub components but the real signal to change the parent part number would be when it hits a row with another 0 in it.

    Any help here would be greatly appreciated.

    0 Parent Part Number
    1 Component 1 Part
    1 Component 1 Part
    2 Component 2 Part
    0 Parent Part Number
    1 Component 1 Part
    1 Component 1 Part
    2 Component 2 part
    3 Component 3 part

    Welcome to the forum.

    A workbook with some actual data and an example of desired output would be much easier to work with. The forum rules explain how to attach one.

    Re: Module/Macro to assign parent part to bill of materials

    Bump, no response. Also, This just has to be run once on each excel worksheet so that they become database importable, so maybe its a macro and not a module.

    Based on your uploaded file you could perhaps do this:

    Copy value in E3 to A3.

    Then in cell A4 write this formula

    and drag this formula down in column A.

    Thanks, Alf. Somehow I missed it, but your idea worked perfectly.
