Default How to assign unique number to column duplicates?

Hi All,
I need to assign a unique number to a set of duplicates all in one column in
Excel 2007.

so columnA will has about 9000 numbers, some of them unique, and others are
duplicates of 2-4 approx.

I used to conditional formatting to show which are duplicates, but need to
be able to assign a unique number to each set duplicates, that will be in
sequential order...

e.g.
ColumnA ColumnB(unique ID)
01233 0001
01233 0001
01234 -
01255 0002
01255 0002
etc....

Any ideas please? I don't know how to do programming, just formulas in excel.
Thanks
Heather
