I am sorry but I am not able to understand your question

from what you said "find out each number is first time happen"

that to me means
1 appears first time on row 1
2 appears first time on row 2
3 appears first time on row 6

but you say "In manual calculatioon: " 3 " number is 1st time happen before. ( ie.: 1,2 & 3 ) "
So I am at lost how two parts are connected
