What I want to do is to consecutively number a list of file names. These
files are in text boxes in column B. Each text box covers a varying number of
rows. So files names contain multiple text boxes. The distinguishing
feature is that the first line of a text box containing a new file is in
BOLD.
I am trying to filter for just the lines which contain words in BOLD so that
i can then number the files in Col A.
The second part of the question is:
Once i have the list filtered to hide the unwanted rows, is there a
way to use the automatic numbering feature of excel (ie number the first two
cell 1 and 2 then dragging through the rest of the cells to number the
others) and get it to only number the cells shown by the filter, to skip the
hidden rows.
