assign next serial number based on contents of another cell
column A titled "serial number", column B titled "line item", column C titled
"cargo". If column B contains 5 line items for the same cargo in column C, how do I get column A to input the next serial number only after contents in Column C has changed. |

Hi
Enter first serial number in A2, then insert this formula in A3 and copy down. If cargo cell is empty, serial number cell will also be empty. =IF(C3"",IF(C3C2,A2+1,A2),"") Hopes this helps. ....

assign next serial number based on contents of another cell
Hi Clint,
To increment one number in the serial number column when: 1. Cargo text field changes OR 2. Above the current row there are 5 lines with the same cargo text as the current row, AND those rows have the same serial number as the preceding row. In cell A2 enter first serial number - i.e. 1001. In cell A3 enter: =IF(C2C3,A2+1,IF(COUNTIF(INDIRECT("C"&MATCH(A2,A :A,0)):C3,C3)5,A2+1,A2)) Hope this helps.
