I am in need of assigning a re-occurring number sequence to a large data set, based on cell value.

A small sample of the data set shows below, in column A:

I need to generate a re-occurring number sequence in column B, like showing below:

So in column A, for every entry of AX1002, the number sequence starts at 100, and counts up, until a new value appears in column A, i.e. AX1003, which causes the number sequence to reset to begin again at 100 and count up until another new value appears in column A, i.e. AX1019, causing it again to reset at 100... and so on.

There are 1,363 rows in total on the worksheet.

Thank you in advance for any help that can be provided.
 

Excel Facts

What does custom number format of ;;; mean?
Three semi-colons will hide the value in the cell. Although most people use white font instead.
How about
Excel Formula:
=99+COUNTIFS(A$2:A2,A2)
