Hello @kauser 

There are several ways you could tackel this.

I would suggest either a multirow or a tile tool configured as per the images below. If you use the tile tool method. You may also need to use a select tool to rename the relevant column.

I have also attached the corresponding workflow.

Please let me know if you if this helps.

Hi @kauser 

 

Multi-row formula tool would work:

if [Date] = [Row-1:Date] then [Row-1:ID] else [Row-1:ID]+1 endif
