Excel 2003 Change between 1 and 2 if name changes
Hello,
I am trying to change the number between 1 and 2 in column A if the name in column B changes, example is in the table below.
A B 1 1 Name1 2 1 Name1 3 2 Name2 4 2 Name2 5 1 Name3 6 1 Name3
Is this possible to do somehow?
Thank you in advance for your help
Serge
well, maybe something like this:
(assumes no matter what, B1 name is A1=1):
A1=1
A2:
Formula:
=IF(B2=B1,A1,IF(A1=1,2,1))
Drag down
Hope this helps
EDIT -
If you had decided on 0 and 1 it would be even simpler
Formula:=IF(B2=B1,A1,NOT(A1))
