Hi everyone,

I need some help with creating a formula that will number each line but then there is a monkey wrench thrown in there

<table width="230" border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"><colgroup><col style="mso-width-source:userset;mso-width-alt:4059;width:83pt" width="111"> <col style="mso-width-source:userset;mso-width-alt:4352;width:89pt" width="119"> </colgroup><tbody><tr style="height:15.0pt" height="20"> <td class="xl65" style="height:15.0pt;width:83pt" width="111" height="20">ID</td> <td class="xl65" style="width:89pt" width="119">Match
</td> </tr> <tr style="height:15.0pt" height="20"> <td class="xl67" style="height:15.0pt;border-top:none; width:83pt" width="111" height="20">125</td> <td class="xl68" style="border-top:none;border-left:none;width:89pt" width="119">ABC00001140</td> </tr> <tr style="height:15.0pt" height="20"> <td class="xl67" style="height:15.0pt;border-top:none; width:83pt" width="111" height="20">126</td> <td class="xl68" style="border-top:none;border-left:none;width:89pt" width="119">ABC00001143</td> </tr> <tr style="height:15.0pt" height="20"> <td class="xl69" style="height:15.0pt;border-top:none; width:83pt" width="111" height="20">127</td> <td class="xl70" style="border-top:none;border-left:none;width:89pt" width="119">ABC00001144</td> </tr> <tr style="height:15.0pt" height="20"> <td class="xl69" style="height:15.0pt;border-top:none; width:83pt" width="111" height="20">127</td> <td class="xl70" style="border-top:none;border-left:none;width:89pt" width="119">ABC00001144</td> </tr> <tr style="height:15.0pt" height="20"> <td class="xl72" style="height:15.0pt;border-top:none; width:83pt" width="111" height="20">128</td> <td class="xl73" style="border-top:none;border-left:none;width:89pt" width="119">ABC00001146</td> </tr> <tr style="height:15.0pt" height="20"> <td class="xl72" style="height:15.0pt;border-top:none; width:83pt" width="111" height="20">128</td> <td class="xl73" style="border-top:none;border-left:none;width:89pt" width="119">ABC00001146</td> </tr> <tr style="height:15.0pt" height="20"> <td class="xl72" style="height:15.0pt;border-top:none; width:83pt" width="111" height="20">128</td> <td class="xl73" style="border-top:none;border-left:none;width:89pt" width="119">ABC00001146</td> </tr> </tbody></table>

So I can filldown to number for me, but the issue is when I hit a set of records where the match is the same, they all will need to have the same ID number. Does someone have a good excel formula that can run this for me (I have a set of 10K that I have to run against them).

Thanks in advance again!

Are the values sorted so that all the duplicates are grouped together?
If So, try

Assuming headers in Row 1, data starting in Row2.
Data in Column B
In A2 put your Starting ID #
In A3 put

=A2+(B2<>B3)

Fill down to end of Data.
