Hi all,
This forum is really helpful for novices like me. Currently struck with an
issue which goes as...

i have 3 col like date, cust number, quote ref. In quote ref i have a
formula "(COUNTIF($D$4:D16,D16)" to generate a number for the a customer,
what i am looking is this should be done on Date basis, in other words, i
should get a new quote number if the date changes

May be my example should give you clear idea,
Date (dd/mm/yyyy) Cust No. Quote Ref
01/10/2008 4628A 001
15/10/2008 4670B 001
16/10/2008 4628A 002

and so on,

Thanks in advance

This presumes that there will be at most, only a single order per any cust
per date

Cust Nos are assumed running in D4 down
In E4: =IF(D4="","",TEXT(COUNTIF(D$4:D4,D4),"000"))
Copy E4 down

.. my actual situation is there will be

Can you show how then should the quote refs be generated?
Take the sample data below for 2 customers, indicate in your reply:

Date_____ Cust QuoteR
1-Oct-08 4628A
1-Oct-08 4670B
1-Oct-08 4628A
15-Oct-08 4628A

Dates are running in C4 down
In E4:
=IF(C4="","",IF(COUNTIF(C$4:C4,C4)1,"",COUNTIF(C$ 4:C4,C4)))

In F4:
=TEXT(COUNT(E$4:E4),"000")
Select E4:F4, copy down. The results you seek will appear in F4 down.

Max,
Tried your advise but some how i am confused... any how once again i am
giving my real time data as example

16 23/10/2008 XYZ XYZ0004086 Er.Visit 001

Take the example rows from 4 to 7, row 4 and 5 were generated on 26/10/2008
so, it should have "001" for both rows and row 6 represents a change in date
for the same customer ( refer cust.code) so, it should have "002" and row 7
also represents a change in date for the same customer, so it should have
"003".

Like wise for every change in col2, col4 column 6 should be updated.

Hope i am clear in asking, excuse me if i committed any confusion.

Nothing to get confused really. Just sort your entire table by the dates col,
then apply the formulas in 2 adjacent empty cols to the right. It should work
ok. Adjust the 1st formula to point at where the dates actually start (I had
presumed it was in C4 down earlier, as stated in the response). The 2nd
formula is to point at where the 1st formula starts.

I assume your data start in row 4. You can use this formula in Row 4
for QuoteRef and copy.

=SUMPRODUCT(($A$4:A4=A4)*($D$4:D4=D4))
