Comparing data in each row of a single column

Good Day All,

 

I am new to Alteryx and trying to figure out how to compare consecutive rows from a individual column and then give 0 if it matches and 1 if no match.

 

example:

 

reference number

1422632 
1422632 
1414505 
1420044 
1420044 
1420044 
1413297 
1413297 
1413297 
1417531 

 

then get a output that looks like below.

 

14226320
14226321
14145051
14200440
14200440
14200441
14132970
14132970
14132971
14175311

Hi,   I have a very similar issue/need but am not able to reconcile the output of the Summarize Tool I use when counting distinct non-null values in my rows and using the Multi-Row formula tool using the following expression: 

 

IF [SO_ORDER_ID] != [Row-1:SO_ORDER_ID] OR [Row+1:SO_ORDER_ID] THEN 1 ELSE 0 ENDIF  

 

I end up with the correct value I'm expecting in the Summarize Tool, however the value from the above expression in the Multi-Row formula tool ends up being less than expected by a fair amount.   Any thoughts on how I can tweak the logic or settings used in the Multi-Row formula to have the two values be equal to each other?
