    Post Make Indented BOM into Flat BOM

    Hello Everyone,

    I have been struggling with this problem for years and would greatly appreciate any support. Solidworks exports indented BOM's in the following parent child format.

    1 - Top most Parent
    1.1 - first child of parent
    1.1.1 - child of first child
    2 - second most parent
    2.1 - first child of second parent
    ..
    ..
    ..
    etc

    I have provided a simple example below:

    Number Item QTY
    1 Truck 1
    1.1 wheel 4
    1.1.1 rim 3
    2 axel 2
    2.1 brake 4
    2.1.1 brake fluid 6
    3 window 1
    4 Seat 1

    I want to find the QTY of items it takes to make the Truck. The answer is below

    ANSWER
    Truck 1
    wheel 4
    rim 12
    axel 2
    brake 8
    brake fluid 48
    window 1
    Seat 1

    How would you go about solving this for larger BOM's?
