sorry for the lack of experience and knowledge in excel macros. If anyone knows of some code that can complete this task please direct me to the source!
I need to find all duplicates in Column A, for any number of rows, and then add a incremental _# so they are no longer duplicates.
Column A

Column B

b_1
b_2
c_1
C_2
C_3
c_4
If it's just that, you can use.

Then you never get duplicated values.
Mark that this is not the same result as you posted.

That is close, and I actually came across that solution, but the entire issue revolves around grouping the duplicates and incrementing from the start of each group

Thank you very much. This is so so close to being perfect. I need to add an IF statement to check is Column A has no duplicate, if it doesn't than concatenate no value.

I don't get the question.
You rename collumn A to an non duplicated collumn B.
Why should you want to change collumn A (it has duplicated values in it)?

Sorry I wasn't clear. I hope this helps. If the left column doesn't not have a duplicate, like a and d, then I would not like to concatenate anything.
a a c c_1 c c_2 c c_3 d d e e_1 e e_2
It is not that is not clear, I don't understand why you want it that way.
Anyway, it is your question.
See the solutions in #6.
Sorry I dont know why it didn't work the first time I tried it...but post #6 works perfectly now. Thank you very much oeldere!
Glad I could help. Thanks for the reply.
If the question is solved, will you mark your question as solved?
If you have (other) questions, just ask.
