The number in cell A2 is: 91412.700110100. I would like the formula in B2 to
count the number in A2 and add the number of the count to the end of the
number string using 4 decimal digits. Such that the new number equals
91412.7001101000001.
The formula I am using in cell B2: =A2+COUNTIF(A$2:$A2,A2)/10000000000000)
I would like the formula in column B to be able to be pulled down so that it
will count each new number in column A and add the number of the count, up to
9999, to the original number in column A. The key is to add the count to the
number without changing any of the numbers that precede it.
The problem I am having is that excel drops the count number from the end of
the number string so that the string ends with zero. This is definately not
a formatting issue as I have tried various number formats all of which don't
work. Maybe it is a preferences issue that I cannot figure out.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
