How to zero out subsequent cells in a field so data is not duplicated

I am merging data from my invoice register that is at a sales order level with data from a costing module that can have multiple rows of data (sales order followed by 4 digit job suffix). The problem I am having is that while I do want multiple rows of data, I do not want the field Invoice Amount to be populated on every row. The invoice amount should only show up once for a sales order, and all subsequent rows until the next sales order for the invoice amount should be zero. Below is an example of the data I currently have, and then what I would like it to look like afterwards.

Hi @MrJWoo 

 

One way of doing this.

IF [Order Number]=[Row-1:Order Number]
THEN 0
ELSE [Invoice amount]
ENDIF

Note: Cant duplicate the entire dataset as it was pasted as screenshot, but the same replica will work in your huge dataset too.

 

Many thanks

Thank you ShankerV, that did the trick! I was thinking of a similar way to do it in Excel but wasn't sure how to translate that into the IF statement in the formula tool. Appreciate the help!
