Add a unique (sequential) number to "usuername"
Add a unique (sequential) number at the end of usersnames Greetings All, I have several hundred usernames that are identical (ex. 50 "mjones"). I want to be able to use excel if possible to place a unique and sequential number at the end of the duplicates (after the first original of course). I was able to create a worksheet with "Concoctonate=Conditional Formatting=True&False=Sorting"... Now just looking for a way to automate the "adding of unique numbers" at the end of the username.... Any advice...? Thank you! Sawtelle |

Not unique, but the same thing 4 times, I assume. :-(

Add a unique (sequential) number to "usuername"
Say your data is in column A. In B1 enter:
=A1 In B2 enter: =A2 & IF(COUNTIF($A$1:A2,A2)1, COUNTIF($A$1:A2,A2)-1,"") and copy down For example: mike mike mike mike1 joe joe joe joe1 jim jim jim jim1 frank frank frank frank1 mike mike2 larry larry -- Gary''s Student - gsnu200832 "sawtelle" wrote: Add a unique (sequential) number at the end of usersnames Greetings All, I have several hundred usernames that are identical (ex. 50 "mjones").

Another one:
=A1&TEXT(COUNTIF(A$1:$1,A1)-1,"0;;;") sawtelle wrote: Add a unique (sequential) number at the end of usersnames Greetings All, I have several hundred usernames that are identical (ex. 50 "mjones").

I think Dave means this:
=A4&TEXT(COUNTIF(A$1:A1,A1)-1,"0;;;") -- If this helps, please click the Yes button Cheers, Shane Devenshire "sawtelle" wrote: Add a unique (sequential) number at the end of usersnames Greetings All, I have several hundred usernames that are identical (ex. 50 "mjones").

Add a unique (sequential) number to "usuername"
You were closer, but I really meant:
=A1&TEXT(COUNTIF(A$1:A1,A1)-1,"0;;;") (not A4 as the first cell reference) (I was cleaning up $ signs and got too aggressive!)
