Hello,

I have the dataset as above, and want to know how many RIC there are by placing a same tag (number or character) within a group of RIC, created in a new column. Simply I want to add another column counting 1 for all AAM.HM of column RIC, and 2 for all ABT.HM of RIC, 3 for all ACL.HM, and so on. Please help.

Thank you.

It would be more helpful if you could show how your output should look like.
