Excell flash fill based on another column

Good afternoon everyone,
I'm needing to flash fill a group down a column sequentially based on another column.  To give an example:  Column A has Test codes, column D has questions.  I need to populate column C with sequential question numbers 1 - ? for each question in the corresponding test.  

Column|   A-Test Code   |   B- Company ID   |   C - Question Number  |   D- Question content   |
                A231           |     CompID                     |    1                                | What color is the sky?
                A231           |   CompID                       |    2                                 | How old are you?
                A231            | CompID                        |   3                                  | what is the atomic pass of silver?
                A985             | COmpID                       |  1                                  | What is the name of your favorite teacher?
               A985              | CompID                        | 2                                   |How many kids did the Brady bunch have?


But instead i have like 12K lines and dont want to go through numbering all of column c based on column A.  Any options?  Thank you!!
