Multi-Row Formula help

Hi all! I'm trying to build a multi-row formula to repeat some labels, but i'm running into an issue where the number of times a label should repeat is not consistent--sometimes it is 5 times, sometimes it is 6 times. Here is my data:

What I haveWhat I want
Company1Company1
F4Company1
F5Company1
F6Company1
F7Company1
Company2Company2
F9Company2
F10Company2
F11Company2
F12Company2
Company3Company3
F14Company3
F15Company3
F16Company3
F17Company3
Company4Company4
F19Company4
F20Company4
F21Company4
F22Company4
F23Company4
F24Company4

 

How do I change my multi-row formula in order to transform my data on the left to the data on the right?

Hi @dataviolet 

 

Formula would be 

IF left([field],1)="F" then [row-1:output] else [field] endif

 

Lets me prep a example🙂
