Hello Friends, :-)
This one is a little tricky, so I'm hoping somebody can help me out.
I have a list of numerical employee numbers in column A.
I need to assign a unique number beside each employee number in column B.
However, the count must start from the bottom, and the first unique number must be a zero, with each number increasing by one going up.
Is there a formula which can easily do this, or is VBA the way to go?
Any help would be appreciated! :-)

In B2, try this:
=COUNTIF(A2:A$11,A2)-1
I deleted the blank line so that the formula can be copied down the whole column.
If there are blank rows, you can use this:
=IF(A2="","",COUNTIF(A2:A$12,A2)-1)
.. or with no need to delete anything...
=IF(A2="","",COUNTIF(A2:$A$17,A2)-1)
