Any suggestions for a formula to calculate a running count of the number of incidences in a list? For example, in a list with A, B, C, B; I want to label A = 1, then the first B =1, and first C = 1, and then the second B = 2, etc. The list is in a column and there are thousands of names. TIA for your help!

Use a countif that runs with the formula. Aka:

=COUNTIFS($A$1:$A1,criteria).

Note that when you pull the formula, the formula will become:

=COUNTIF($A$1:$A2,criteria)

That way you will have your count. It may take some time if you have hundreds of thousands of rows

Timesaver: If you’re working on a file saved on the cloud (teams, share point, etc.) and need the URL to communicate out, tap FILE -> INFO -> COPY PATH and the url will be on your clipboard. Pre-established sharing privileges of orig folder will apply. Hopefully this saves you time reshuffling open windows! Bonus: Same on standard MS suite files.
