    Formula to state this is the first, second, third... time this employee number used

    Hi,

    I'm looking to be able to enter a formula that will equal 1 if an employee number is entered, then if it is entered again in another cell it will equal 2, then again will equal 3, so on and so on.

    eg...
    Employee #......................Code
    75555................................1
    75555................................2
    75555................................3
    75555................................4
    etc...

    The reason being is that I need to pay casual employees a laundry allowance of $2.05 per day, however they may work more than one shift per day so I want the first shift to pay the $2.05 ie: if cell B2 = 1 pay $2.05, if cell B2 is greater than 1 then pay nothing.

    Thanks for your help.

    hi Dan007, welcome to the forum. assuming data starts in A2, try this in B2:
    =COUNTIF(A$2:A2,A2)

    Thanks, if you have clicked on the * and added our rep.
