Reading parent/child relationship from sheet
.everyoneloves__top-leaderboard:empty,.everyoneloves__mid-leaderboard:empty,.everyoneloves__bot-mid-leaderboard:empty{ height:90px;width:728px;box-sizing:border-box;
}
I have an excel spreadsheet that is generated from a software I use. This spreadsheet includes a list of items (similar to a BOM) and they are arranged using Outlines (tree view).
I now want to perform some data processing using a macro and to do that I need to know the parent/child relationship of every item. Is there a function that will output the parent for each item.
thanks in advance for the support.

Offset() may work, but difficult to guess how as no data to work with. Vba may be a better choice if there are lots of relationships

VBA would be fine. Is there a function to that. I found this docs.microsoft.com/en-us/office/vba/api/excel.outline.parent but i didn't manage to make it work

We were using an extra column for numbering each line in a layout similar to "table of contents"
like for example
1. heading
1.01 sub heading
1.02 sub heading 2
to get parent of 1.02 you can use a formula like below
=LEFT(F12,LEN(F12)-3)
