In the attached version of Subodh_Tiwari_sktneer"s solution file, the array formula (confirmed with Ctrl+Shift+Enter) in D2 is:
=IF(COUNTIFS(A$2:A2,A2,B$2:B2,B2)-1,
LOOKUP(2,1/(A$1:A1&B$1:B1=A2&B2),D$1:D1),
"SET"&MAX(IFERROR(--SUBSTITUTE(D$1:D1,"SET",""),0))+1)You're welcome.
Please try this Array Formula which requires confirmation with Ctrl+Shift+Enter instead of Enter alone.
In C2
=IF(COUNTIFS(A$2:A2,A2,B$2:B2,B2)=1, "SET"&SUM(--(FREQUENCY(MATCH(A$2:A2&B$2:B2,INDEX(A$2:A2&B$2:B2,),0),ROW(A$2:A2)-ROW($A$2)+1)>0)), INDEX(C$1:C1,MATCH(A2&B2,INDEX(A$1:A1&B$1:B1,),0)))Confirm with Ctrl+Shift+Enter and then copy it down.
ok got it formula working fine
Thanks a lot.))
