    Instances minus duplicates

    I have a column of names, several of which appear more than once.

    For example:

    John Doe
    John Doe
    Jane Dickenson
    Xavier James

    In the adjacent column I would like a numeric output of either 1 or 0. I would like 1 to appear for the first instance of a name occurrence and a 0 for any repeated instances of the name, so I can sum the number of people in the column, not the number of instances they appear. So to correspond to the four names above, in the adjacent column I would like to see:

    1
    0
    1
    1

    Thanks for the help!
