Please help me with coming up with a formula so that the value "1" appears on the corresponding row of a column for every first instance a code appears on another column. Like this:

Code: 
         A        B
1    GL23      1
2    GL45      1
3    GL45        
4    GL50      1
5    GL23        
6    GL23        
7    GL45       
8    GL51      1

So, like in the example above, I want the value "1" appear on the next column (Column B) whenever a code appears for the first time in Column A.

Thanks in advance!
