adding a number to every change in value
I have a list of numerical items in column a, with corresponding info in
columns b-ab. I would like to a number to the item number at every change in item. for example I would like to go from this: 10-1000 10-1000 10-1001 10-1001 10-1001 10-1003 to this: 10-1000 1 10-1000 1 10-1001 2 10-1001 2 10-1001 2 10-1003 3 the numbers are variable, as are the number of rows that they occupy. Any thoughts much appreciated. Breinn |
