    Formula to return a unique identifier to a row of data based on 2 columns?

    I am trying to find a formula to return a unique identifier to a row of data based on 2 columns. I found this one below but it uses 1 colunn only:

    =IF(ISNA(MATCH(B7,B6:$B$6,0)),MAX(C6:$C$6)+1,VLOOKUP(B7,B6:$C$6,2,FALSE))

    Gil Tom
    Thomas Bob
    Furst Andrew
    Smyth Markus
    Reynold Tom


    This formula returns a unique identifier to a row of data based on 1 column.
    I am trying to find a very similar formula except using 2 columns of data, e.g.:

    Invoice Number Vendor

    I want add a unique identifier where the Invoice number is the same however the Vendor is different and if both are the same then use the same identifier.

    Please help

    Thank You
