excel - increment a value in a cell if they are the same -


this may little difficult me explain. have 1 column in excel has duplicate entries i.e. more 1 red , more 1 blue. need compare column against , increment each cell same word 1.

for example if there list of 3 reds in column , 2 blues in same column need incremented red1, red2, red3 , blue1, blue 2. i've been searching far have not found works how need to.

i have sorted column , need add number increments 1 same cell entry.

the column have 5000 products (with many random duplicates) , if products have same name need incremented 1.

any appreciated. thank , hope makes sense.

you can use countif using little trick range.

=countif($a$1:a1, a1) 

and if want directly concatenate...

=a1&countif($a$1:a1, a1) 

and drag formula down.

adjust range accordingly.
