I want to make a checkbook register that will sum the number of times the word "Check" appears in a column. Once that number is known, I will add it to the original check number. So, if A3="Check" then the value in B3 will be B2+1.
.....A..................B
2......................1000
3 Check..............1001
4 Deposit
5 Check..............1002
6 Withdrawal
7 Check..............1003

Is this possible?

=IF(UPPER($A3="CHECK"),MAX($B$2:$B2)+1,"")

Any reason for using UPPER? Looks pointless, just wondering if I missed something.

Thank you all for the answer. I used Aladin Akyurek's and it worked perfectly.
I am going to test the other suggestion just to see how it works.

But thank you all.
