well ... Im gonna type the same thing accually.
If the first cell is A, and the next below is also A, now what I want is to the next column a 2.
If the third cell is also A, I want a 3 in the next column.
If the fourth cell is B I want a 1 in the next column. Because it is the first B.
If the fifth cell is a A again then the next column puts an 1 again. So it count again.
If the 6 cell is a A again the next column needs a 2.
a 1
a 2
a 3
b 1
a 1
a 2
b 1
a 1
a 2
b 1
a 1
a 2
b 1
b 2
b 3
a 1
But I have number instead 4.00 and the -12.00.
- Your question is logical related.
Let say you have A, B, A, C in cells A1 to A4.
If cell B1, you can write an IF formula thus:
=IF(A1="A",1,IF(A1="B",2,3)). Click enter and copy down the formula.
What the above implies is that:
All cells with A in column A will return 1 in column B.
All cells with B in column A will return 2 in column B, and so on.
I guess that is what you're trying to achieve.
