Hi, I'm using excel 2000 and I need to get around this problem I'm having any help would be great.
So for example I have a column of string data
A
A
A
B
A
B
B
I need to know the number of occurrences of the letters, I know I can use COUNTIF to get the total but I need the number sequence to be displayed like this
A 1
A 2
A 3
B 1
A 4
B 2
B 3
As calculations need to be performed at each instance, any ideas? Anyone??

Assuming you are beginning at A1, try:
=COUNTIF(A$1:A1,A1) copied down
Where there is a will there are many ways.

but the sequence is from maximum to minimum
ooooooh so close with this one! If I could just get the numbers to run the other way
Did you try my formula.. it should produce exactly your results...
Perfect!, Thankyou very much!
