I have a set of data, which the value might be repeated and I am attempting to count and mark the counting in sequence.

I am currently trying to create a list using arrayformula (which is a must for my application for some reason), which the list will return the number of times the value is repeated, at the same time indicates the # of the occurrence of that row.

Some thing like the below is what i wish to acc

DATA Desired
a 1 1st a
b 1 1st b
c 1 1st c
a 2 2nd a
b 2 2nd b
a 3 3rd a
b 3 3rd b
b 4 4th b

It is a must for me to use a arrayformula or something similar to achieve. Would appreciate any input. Thanks.

Try with;

=BYROW (A2:A,LAMBDA(each,IF(each="","",COUNTA (FILTER(A2:each,A2:each = each)))))

  • Thanks for the suggestion. I get the idea of the formula, but it doesn't work (which caught me curious as well). The output I get is instead all 1.

  • My bad, I missed the range in filter, I corrected in the post. You can also use COUNTIF inserted of COUNTA and FILTER:. =BYROW (A2:A,LAMBDA(each,IF(each="","",COUNTIF (A2:each,each))))
