insert ASTERIX in sequence

8f3a5c3431cd428eb2f7a33b126212a1.png
I have a table like the TOP picture. In the second column I use the formula "NUMBER OF WORDS+1" >> =LEN(B11)-LEN(SUBSTITUTE(B11," ",""))+2

For the next column I want to insert ASTERIX in sequence like BOTTOM TABLE. What formulas/FUNCTIONs make it easy for me to do this task?

Your post does not comply with Rule 8 of our Forum RULES. Do not crosspost your question on multiple forums without including links here to the other threads on other forums.

Cross-posting is when you post the same question in other forums on the web. The last thing you want to do is waste people's time working on an issue you have already resolved elsewhere. We prefer that you not cross-post at all, but if you do (and it's unlikely to go unnoticed), you MUST provide a link (copy the url from the address bar in your browser) to the cross-post.

Expect cross-posted questions without a link to be closed and a message will be posted by the moderator explaining why. We are here to help so help us to help you!

Read this to understand why we ask you to do this, and then please edit your first post to include links to any and all cross-posts in any other forums (not just this site).

Please attach your actual file, instead of a screenshot. Then we can use your data, and update the file with a solution instead of having to re-create your file from scratch.

By the way, it's "asterisk".

If we are in Row 8 and asterix1 row is C7

In C7 copied right and down

=IF(COLUMNS($C$7:C7)>$B7,"",SUBSTITUTE(" "&$A7&" ", " ","*",COLUMNS($C7:C7)))
