Default List of multiple repeating numbers assigned unique but like valueswith a formula

Hi,

I have a list of values listed below (actual list is hundreds of thousands of lines) that I need to read as 1, 1a, 1b, 1c, 1d, 1e, 2, 2a, 2b, etc..... Is there a way to do this formulaically? I'm racking my brain on this one....

try in a helper column
=A1&CHOOSE(COUNTIF($A$1:A1,A1),"","a","b","c","d", "e","f")
or
=IF(COUNTIF($A$1:A1,A1)=1,A1,A1&CHAR(COUNTIF($A$1: A1,A1)+95))
