Formula to auto-number rows for multiple projects within a single sheet
Hello,
I'm looking to a formula that will auto-number rows for multiple projects within a single sheet. For example, I have rows for Project A, Project B, and Project C in the same sheet:
Project A
Project A
Project A
Project B
Project B
Project B
Project B
Project C
Project C
I want my auto-number column to return the following:
1
2
3
1
2
3
4
1
2
Is there a formula that can solve for this?
Thank you in advance!

Insert an auto number column (called "Auto") with no special formatting. Then use this formula in a separate column:
=COUNTIFS(Auto:Auto, @cell <= Auto@row, [Project Name Column]:[Project Name Column], @cell = [Project Name Column]@row)
