I am using a text field to enter WBS's, rather than Project's automated
feature. We are using the 1.2.3 format. I would like to have another text
column be the 'Parent WBS' column, but instead of actually typing in the
parent WBS, I would like to create a formula that does it for me.
My original approach would be the parent WBS would have a length of 2 less
than the WBS text field (WBS = 1.2.3, Parent WBS = 1.2). However, if I have
a WBS like '1.2.3.14', my output is '1.2.3.', rather than what I need it to
be - '1.2.3'.
Can anyone either help me with my approach, or provide a 'work around'?
Potential work around would be if there is a '.' at the end of the string,
then to remove it, but that sounds complicated, but may be the only way to do
it. I am also not that good with VBA. Thanks.
