Hi VBA Gurus,

I hope everyone is doing well. I have this list of Customer IDs and the number of payments for this check run.
It's company practice to increment the IDs by -1(Manually), adding one each time, while doing nothing with the first ID instance. Please see the small example below.

Is there a way to make this a repeatable process, by VBA, Power Query, or any other methods?

Excel Facts

Spell Check in Excel
Press F7 to start spell check in Excel. Be careful, by default, Excel does not check Capitalized Werds (whoops)
Can be done with a simple formula.
For an ID in cell A2, here is the formula to use:
Excel Formula:
=IF(COUNTIF(A$2:A2,A2)=1,A2,A2 & "-" & COUNTIF(A$2:A2,A2)-1)
and then just copy down your column for all values.

Here is a little shorter version using the new LET function:
Excel Formula:
=LET(x,COUNTIF(A$2:A2,A2),IF(x=1,A2,A2 & "-" & x-1))
