Excel Facts

Which lookup functions find a value equal or greater than the lookup value?
MATCH uses -1 to find larger value (lookup table must be sorted ZA). XLOOKUP uses 1 to find values greater and does not need to be sorted.

Try this:-
Code:
[COLOR="Navy"]Sub[/COLOR] MG16Apr00
[COLOR="Navy"]Dim[/COLOR] Rng [COLOR="Navy"]As[/COLOR] Range, Dn [COLOR="Navy"]As[/COLOR] Range, c, Temp [COLOR="Navy"]As[/COLOR] Range
[COLOR="Navy"]Set[/COLOR] Rng = Range("B2", Range("B" & Rows.Count).End(xlUp))
c = 1
[COLOR="Navy"]For[/COLOR] [COLOR="Navy"]Each[/COLOR] Dn [COLOR="Navy"]In[/COLOR] Rng
    [COLOR="Navy"]If[/COLOR] Not Temp [COLOR="Navy"]Is[/COLOR] Nothing [COLOR="Navy"]Then[/COLOR]
        [COLOR="Navy"]If[/COLOR] Not Dn.Value = Temp.Value [COLOR="Navy"]Then[/COLOR] c = c + 1
    [COLOR="Navy"]End[/COLOR] If
    Dn.Offset(, -1).Value = c
    [COLOR="Navy"]Set[/COLOR] Temp = Dn
[COLOR="Navy"]Next[/COLOR] Dn
[COLOR="Navy"]End[/COLOR] [COLOR="Navy"]Sub[/COLOR]

You can do this without using VBA. Assuming your table starts at A1, put a value of 1 in cell A2. Put the following formula in cell A3 and copy down as necessary: =IF(B3=B2,A2,A2+1)
