Please take note that the following approach will force the processing of a worksheet to occur in a single reducer. This is the only way to ensure that the row numbers are consistent. This may have a significant negative performance impact when generating the results.

Step-by-step guide

2. In the first column, add the function GROUPBY(1)
3. In the second column, add the function GROUPROWNUMBER()
