Enter the following array formula into cell B2:

{=(SUM((A2+ROW(A3:$A$20)-ROW(A2)=A3:$A$20)+0)+1)*(A2-N(A1)<>1)}

...and copy down to cell B20. Please remember that
array formulas must by entered using Control+Shift+Enter.
Finally, apply the following custom format to column B:

0;;;

If your vendor numbers are text...

...use the following array formula:

{=(SUM((A2+ROW(A3:$A$20)-ROW(A2)=A3:$A$20+0)+0)+1)*IF(ROW()=ROW($A$2),1,A2-A1<>1)}

...instead of my earlier formula. Enter the following array formula into cell B2: {=(SUM((A2+ROW(A3:$A$20)-ROW(A2)=A3:$A$20)+0)+1)*(A2-N(A1)<>1)} ...and copy down to cell B20. Please remember that
