Default What's wrong with formulae?

=IF(B2="",A1,N(A1)+1)





Why it is showing 66 so many times instead of once?

Attaching the file will take off several days from you getting right answer probably, but on wild guess from 2 mm I can see about column B, it looks like cells B82:B88 are merged.

merged cells are again the problem. Everyone on this board is saying the same thing - dont use them.

as a test in your file go to cell c1 and type =b1, this will show you want excel 'sees' (0 is am emtpy cell) so at row 21, excel can see that it contiains the merged data and therefore adds 1 to the number above, 22 is empty so it repeats the number above
