Hello Everyone,
I think my question / problem is simple but since i am still learning I need your help.
I have 2 columns (ColA,ColB)
ColA = Random volume of rows with some data which repeats frequently.
ColB= should pick up a sequential number 1,2,3,4 for every new data in ColA.
If a data repeats in ColA then ColB should repeat the same sequence number.
I want to achieve this by putting some formula in ColB instead of Macros.
Is this possible ? If someone can help me learn & find answers.
Example : Example result of how ColB should appear / populate
ColA ColB
Donald 1
Mickey 2
Donald 1
Mickey 2
Jack 3
Thomas 4
Thomas 4
Thomas 4
Mickey 2
Peter Piper 5
So,every time data populates in ColA, ColB should pick up a sequential number. However the same number should repeat if the data repeats in ColA.
"Donald" was the 1st data & it picked up 1 in ColB, now everytime Donald Repeats in ColA ColB= 1
Also, if you notice when there is a New data in ColA = Peter Piper, ColB picked the next sequential number since its new data.
Thanks in Advance for all the support & training.
Regards,
Steeve
