Hi!

Assume your dates are in the range A1:A31

In B1 enter 1.

Enter this formula in B2 and copy down as needed:

=IF(MONTH(A2)=MONTH(A1),B1+1,1)

What would be the best way to create a formula that will return a list
of consecutive #s when the list of dates are missing weekends and
holidays? What I want the formula to do is return the # in column B
understanding when it switches to a new month so that it resets back to
1. I'm doing this on dates back to 1900 which is why I need a formula
that can speed up the process. Any help would be appreciated.
