Hi there!

It sounds like you need to flag the first occurrence of each unique Product ID, which can be easily done with an Excel formula. You can use the following approach:

  1. Step 1: Sort your data by Product ID if it's not already sorted.

  2. Step 2: In a new column, use this formula to insert a "1" every time the Product ID changes:

    =IF(A2<>A1, 1, "")

    Where A2 refers to your Product ID column. This formula checks if the current row's Product ID is different from the previous row. If it's different, it returns a "1"; otherwise, it leaves the cell blank.

  3. Step 3: Copy the formula down for all rows.

This should help you flag the first occurrence of each Product ID!
