I am trying to add a serial number to the rows in an excel sheet. I have multiple duplicate values in "ID" column and I am hiding the duplicate values first and then trying to add the serial number only for the unique values. I want all the duplicate values to have same serial number as the original value.
My sheet looks like this now :

What I am trying to achieve looks like this:
There are more than 50K rows and I am hoping that there is some way to do this in excel without manually filling in the numbers in the "No." column. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

=IF(B2=B3,A2,A2+1)
First put the value "1" in cell "A2". Then put the mentioned value below and continue dragging and dropping.
Your result will look as follows:
