[exe]

suppose the following scenario:
idA | idB | ...
? | 001 |...
? | 001 |...
? | 001 |...
? | 002 |...
? | 002 |...
? | 003 |...
? | 004 |...

in the first column, the result of idA should be the number of data included in column idB like below:
idA | idB | ...
01 | 001 |...
02 | 001 |...
03 | 001 |...
01 | 002 |...
02 | 002 |...
01 | 003 |...
01 | 004 |...
and so on... any available solution?
thanks
