Hello!
I'm in need of some help. I'm trying to create unique ID for a list of contacts and it involves searching the same column multiple times. Here's the outline.
In column B:
It has a list of companies. It could list multiple companies or individuals companies. Like this:
ABC
ABC
ABC
AMCE
JET
JET
APPLE
In column C:
I would like to provide the output that basically creates a unique ID. I want to to search the existing list (Column B) and add a +1 every time the same company is found. For example this is the output I would like for column C:
ABC-0001
ABC-0002
ABC-0003
ACME-0001
JET-0001
JET-0002
APPLE-0001
As you can see for ABC, the first column it's the first ABC in the list so it adds a 1. Then it finds a second ABC so it adds another 1 and so on. If the company is only shown once it would just have 1.
Thank you so much for your help
