Fred,
An example of what i am looking is (consider the same example ur using)
In your last reply you have mentioned 2 columns. In the 1st column 1 was
appearing 4 times and as per my requirement the 4th "1" must have a serial
number as "004". but it was showing "003" only.
Like wise the number 3 was appearing 2 times, means it should have "002"
and
like wise number 4 and number 6 also showing different values.
I can understand how speed you are. Any how once again thanks for your
advice and looking into this.

Hope i am clear in asking... Please follow this entire post so that you
can
find what exactly i am looking at.

Thanks

Had you followed my advice, you would have received the following
results:

1 001
2 001
3 001
4 001
5 001
1 002
1 002
2 002
1 003
3 003

6 003

Is this not what you wanted? If it's not, then tell me what you want.
Saying
"it doesn't work" doesn't give me much to go on.

Also, my records show that you posted your initial question at 7:36 on
09/26. I replied at 7:51 on the same day. I'm sorry if that wasn't speedy
enough for you.

Regards,
Fred.
