lookup and placeholder function
Hello,
I have a sheet with date (some have the same date), order# (6 numeric digits, etc.. I want to add another column to look if there are more than one record with the same date, sequentially add a placeholder 1, 2, 3, etc. to this column. What function do I use? Thanks Sample: Date Order# Part# 5/2/10 123456 AA 5/2/10 356450 AA 5/5/10 356480 AB 5/9/10 356000 AA 5/9/10 256450 BC 5/9/10 306450 AB Result: Date Order# Part# Placeholder 5/2/10 123456 AA 1 5/2/10 356450 AA 2 5/5/10 356480 AB 1 5/9/10 356000 AA 1 5/9/10 256450 BC 2 5/9/10 306450 AB 3 |

Hi,
Assuming your dates start in A2, put this in D2 and drag down =COUNTIF($A$2:A2,A2) -- Mike When competing hypotheses are otherwise equal, adopt the hypothesis that introduces the fewest assumptions while still sufficiently answering the question.

Hi
Let's assume your table starts at Sheet1!A1, and in 1st row are column headings. Into D2 enter the formula: =IF($A2="","",COUNTIF($A$2:$A2)) , and copy it down (you can have the formula in advance, so whenever you add a new row, the placeholder is calculated immediately).
