Default COUNTA Function

I have the following list. Column A has the below formula and column B
contains a list of Names

ColumnA Column B
1 ABCD
2 EFGH
3 IJKL
4 MNOP
"" MNOP
5 XYZ

I am using the following in Column A =If(B1="","",counta(B$1:$B1)). This is
copied all the way down Column B. What I need to achieve is that the formula
in Column A will increment only for Unique Values of Column B. Therefore when
we get to Rows 4 and 5 in Column B we only count the name MNOP only once. Row
6 for Name XYZ will show "5" and NOT "6" as I am getting now

Thank you all/sgl
