    Formula to value unique characters only

    I need a formula that will recognize duplicates and only show a "1" for just one of the duplicates and nothing for the others. For example, if column A looks like:

    aaa
    bbb
    bbb
    bbb
    ccc
    ccc

    Then column B should look like:

    1
    1
    0
    0
    1
    0

    Basically adding a "1" to any unique number, then a "0" for the following duplicates. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
