Default Calculate next number using dates?

If there are more than 100 instances then the date will advance after
38116.99

I'm guessing that that is not a possibility?

=A1+COUNTIF(A$1:A1,A1)/100

Copy down as needed. Format as GENERAL to get the serial number.

Here's what I'm trying to do:
Using Excel's date serial numbers, create a unique value for every
instance
of the same date in a column.

For instance, if there are two instances of the date 5/9/2004 in the same
column, then I want to display a value similar to this in the same row of
a
different column: 38116.01 for one instance, and with the next instance
having this value: 38116.02. This value should increase incrementally by
.01
every time a new instance of the same date is added to the column.

I hope this makes sense and that it's possible with a formula, not a
macro.
Thanks in advance for your help!
