    Make serial numbers from Repeating names

    I have repeating 7 names in A column.(Like a name group)
    Each group names repeating after a blank(empty) row.

    I want to write to B column for each repeating names from 1 to 7 as number value.

    Attached you can see detail and explanation.

    Thanks in advance for any reply and help.

    Regards,
    turist
