  For those of you that know what an indented BOM is this will make perfect sense.

  
  

  Below is what I have tried and failed at, so it may not be possible to do what I want but I'm sure someone can come up with Plan B.

  
  

  e.g. C2 will have the formula: =IF(A2=2,F2,').....D2 will have the formula: =IF(A2=3,F3,')
  etc.
  So the issue is that the formulas keep the adjoining cells from displaying all of the F column info and will display only what fits into the cell.

  
  

  1. Is there a way for all of the information to display across cells with formulas...OR
  2. Using Example 2, below, is there a way to indent the information in the same column (B) by reading column A?
