In column A, I have a list of values from A2-A503, I fill these cells

In column B from Column B2 onwards I want to list the unique values from column A ( A2-A503 )

In column C from Column C2 onwards I want the nos. of repetitions
of the unique values listed from B2 onwards

PLEASE SEE THE FOLLOWING TABLE IN WHICH I MADE A REPRESENTATIVE TABLE
VALUE TO BE FILLED BY USERUNIQUE VALUESNo. OF OCCURRENCE
5005003
3503502
5004001
4002001
500
350

Excel Facts

Create a chart in one keystroke
Select the data and press Alt+F1 to insert a default chart. You can change the default chart to any chart type
Does it need to be formulas? You can get what you want much easier with a pivot table.

If you do not have the UNIQUE FUNCTION available to you in 2013, then add a helper column.
IN cell B2
=COUNTIF($A$2:A2,A2)
In cell B3, copied down
=IF(COUNTIF($A$2:A3,A3)=1,COUNTIF($A$2:A3,A3)+MAX($B$2:B2),0)
In cell C2 copied down
=IFERROR(INDEX($A$2:$A$15,MATCH(ROWS($C$2:C2),$B$2:$B$15,0),1),"")
In cell D2 Copied down
=IF(C2<>"",COUNTIF($A$2:$A$15,C2),"")

I am using Office 2013, Also need it to be a formula as the table is filled by staff at other location and emailed to me.
TRIED YOUR FORMULA AND WORKS PERFECTLY.

I wonder how you can make such formulas looks nothing less than Magic to me

If your values in column A are in fact numeric, and you want them in sorted order, you can use this shorter non-array formula:

Just wanted to applaud this method... dancing sooooo close to a circular error without getting singed.
