Imagine a column in Excel that has either "Y" or "N" in it.



I want the column next to it to keep a running count of the number of Y's, but the Y's and N's appear in a random order and I cannot sort by them.



The end result would look like this:



Y:1
N:
N:
Y:2
Y:3
N:
Y:4
N:
Y:5
Y:6
Y:7

etc..


Is this possible?
