Thank you for your quick response. Unfortunately that didn't work. That was probably because I didn't explain myself carefully enough. Have a look at my answer to Brian Barker, where I try to be clearer in what I'm trying to achieve. If there is a solution I will think all my Christmases have come at once! But I am resigned to the fact that there probably isn't. David -- Zed "I have often regretted my speech, never my silence."

And so on? Thank you for your prompt reply, Brian. It is much appreciated Perhaps I didn't explain myself clearly enough. In simple terms, I want to know whether there is any way that when I enter a new date in Column D it will automaticall increase the current value in Column B by 1. I cannot think of a solution - but then I only use Calc for simple things - but was hoping that there is a solution. If there isn't, I will just have to try and remember to manually increase the value of Column B every time I enter a new date in Column D. David -- Zed Smoking kills.

So in column A, there are names, as you said, and in column B there's a number that tells you how many times the name in Column A appeared so far? Then I guess the following would work: B1: =IF(A1="";"";COUNTIF(A$1:A1;A1)) Click and drag the formula downwards.
