    Default Looking for some Excel help

    I'm having a difficult day already and I can't seem to think of a formula for this. In one column I have a set of numbers in one column (far left) and in the other dates. What I need is to create a formula to have a number sequence of 1,2,3 but changing with each new number in the far left column:
    0000010910 05/04/2014 5/31/2015
    0000010910 05/05/2013 5/3/2014
    0000011270 05/04/2014 5/31/2015
    0000011270 07/15/2013 5/3/2014
    0000011280 05/04/2014 5/31/2015
    0000011280 07/15/2013 5/3/2014
    0000011290 05/04/2014 5/31/2015
    0000011290 07/15/2013 5/3/2014
    0000011300 05/04/2014 5/31/2015
    0000011300 07/15/2013 5/3/2014
    0000011310 05/04/2014 5/31/2015
    0000011310 07/15/2013 5/3/2014
    0000011320 05/04/2014 5/31/2015
    0000011320 07/15/2013 5/3/2014
    0000011330 05/04/2014 5/31/2015
    0000011330 07/15/2013 5/3/2014

    0000011340 07/15/2013 5/3/2014

    0000011370 05/04/2014 5/31/2015
    0000011370 07/15/2013 5/3/2014
    0000011380 05/04/2014 5/31/2015
    0000011380 07/15/2013 5/3/2014
    0000011390 05/04/2014 5/31/2015

    0000011400 05/04/2014 5/31/2015


    If you can help that would be great. Thanks

    you just want a count of unique numbers in the far left column?

    =SUM(IF(FREQUENCY(A2:A10,A2:A10)>0,1))

    Thaco I must be doing something incorrect. I have the #'s in column C and the dates in D &E. I'm trying to replace A with C but i'm getting an error.

    I tried =IF(C2<>C1,1,F1+1) and get the number 1 but when I click and drag down it only stays as 1

    formula in Column B - assuming the length of the left text doesn't change (10 characters).

    Else, text to columns with spaces first to isolate it.

    =IF(LEFT(A3,10)=LEFT(A2,10),B2,B2+1)

    attached an excel file.

    Column A Column B

    it should work if you change "A2:A10" to your range, in both places, and the cells are formatted as numbers, if its formatted text it wont work.
