Assuming your data starts in row 1, put the following in A1:

=IF(B1="NO","",COUNTIF($B$1:B1,"<>NO"))

Assuming your data starts in row 1, put the following in A1:

=IF(B1="NO","",COUNTIF($B$1:B1,"<>NO"))

And then fill down as needed.

Hi,

Put a 1 in a1 then this formula in a2 and drag down

=IF(B2<>"No",MAX($A$1:A1)+1,"")

Assuming that you want the numbering to skip if column contaibns "No", try
entering this into A1 and copying it down:-

=IF(B1<>"No",ROW(B1)-COUNTIF($B$1:B1,"No"),"")

Assuming you start number in A1...
A1: =IF($B1="No","",ROW()-COUNTIF($B$1:$B1,"No"))
If you are starting your numbering anywhere below that, just subtract an
additional number that is 1 less than the current row, and change your range
accordingly...
i.e.
A4: =IF($B4="No","",ROW()-COUNTIF($B$4:$B4,"No"))

Hi,

Really not much of an improvement, but a tiny bit shorter:

=IF(B2="No","",MAX(A$1:A1)+1)
