Adding Identifier

Hi I want to know if how can I add a ascending order identifier of each line just like the fill in series function in excel. I want to add a number every location. See sample below:

 

CodeLocationIdentifier (Expected Output)
11111CaliforniaCalifornia1
11111CaliforniaCalifornia2
22222OhioOhio1
22222OhioOhio2
44444TexasTexas1
44444TexasTexas2

 

How can I add another identifier column considering there are thousands of lines reflected in the data? Thank you so much for the helo

Use multifield formula tool to achieve this output

Hi @dunkindonut7777 , here's how you accomplish this:

We start by creating a unique identifier for each duplicate location. We can do this with the multi-row formula tool grouped by location - doing this we ensure we start counting again for each new location. We can then use a formula tool to create the Identifier column.
