    Formula to assign a visit number

    Hi Everyone,

    Can someone help me please,
    I am trying to assign a visit number according to the date for each visitor based on their unique number.

    Visitor_ID....Visit_Date
    1................July 1/2013
    1................July 3/2013
    1................Aug 2/2013
    2................july 10/2013
    2................July 15/2013

    I would like to add a column to assign a visit number:

    Visitor_ID....Visit_Date...........Visit_number
    1................July 1/2013.........1
    1................July 3/2013.........2
    1................Aug 2/2013.........3
    2................july 10/2013........1
    2................July 15/2013........2

    I really appreciate your help,

    Thanks,
    Amanco

    Thank you, it is working!

    can I ask one more question please,
    now how can I extract or advance filter only the last visit based on the visit ID and other columns in the sheet, for example:

    Visitor_ID....Visit_Date...........Visit_number....Data
    1................July 1/2013.........1....................Red
    1................July 3/2013.........2....................Blue
    1................Aug 2/2013.........3....................Orange
    2................july 10/2013........1....................Red
    2................July 15/2013........2....................Pink

    To:
    Visitor_ID....Visit_Date...........Visit_number....Data
    1................Aug 2/2013.........3....................Orange
    2................July 15/2013........2....................Pink

    Thanks again,
    Amanco

    Hi Amanco

    First sort visit_Number in descending order. Next go to advanced filter, click on Unique Records and then click ok. You will find below results:

    Visitor_ID....Visit_Date...........Visit_number....Data
    1................Aug 2/2013.........3....................Orange
    2................July 15/2013........2....................Pink

    Thanks
    Shyam
