Default A challenging One

Simplified this but 1st column contains the data and the second column
is emtpy. Below is what I would like the program to produce when run.
Basically, For every new series of data a 1 would go in the 2nd
column. Pretty easy right, well I also need the program to put a 2
in the second column for every 3rd matching data set after the initial
1. Take a look at the E data, First time it put in a 1, but every 3
matching E's it put in a 2 in the second column. The data and sample
of results might explain it better. Challenging I hope for even you
experts.

Data looks like this
Col1 Col2
