I have a column of figures obtained by using the rank function. However, as
usual, they contain duplicates where appropriate eg 3 ones, followed by a
four etc.

I want to convert the list into a unique set of numbers without any
duplicates - and it doesn't matter which order the 3 ones are in but they
need to change to 1, 2, 3 etc

Can anyone please suggest a way of doing this.

TIA
