Multi Row Formula

Hello, I'm having trouble with the multi row formula. I am trying make it so that if the row above it is a duplicate, I want it to add one, two, three, etc. 

for example:

Company CodeCompany Name
ABC001ABC Trucking
ABC001ABC Equipment
ABC001ABC Services
ABC001ABC LLC 

 

but I need it to look like this:

Company CodeCompany Name
ABC001ABC Trucking
ABC002ABC Equipment
ABC003ABC Services
ABC004ABC LLC 

 

Any kind of help would be appreciated. 

Thank you.

I'm sorry but what is the multi Row formula you used?

if [Row-1:Company Name]!=[Company Name] then tonumber([Row-1:New Field])+1 else tonumber([Row-1:New Field]) endif

 

This checks to see if the row above is a duplicate. If it is not, it adds 1 to the "New Field" column. At the moment if the row above is a duplicate, the formula just returns the same "New Field" value as the row above. This part could be changed depending on what output you want when there is a duplicate.

@sariyaj Another way of doing this with the tile tool
