RecordID reset formula

I need a fromula (thinking multi-formula) that resets the RecordID back down to 1, when the date in a cell is different than the one above it. 

Example below is the excel desired output

I solved this by doing two things:

 

First, I updated your multi row formula to this:

 

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

 

instead of this:

 

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

 

Notice you had RecordID so you were adding RecordID not LINE_NO

 

Second, I had to change the data type of LINE_NO to an INT data type so you can perform the addition/math on that field.

 

Hope that helps.

Here is updated workflow - note I had to remove the single quotes around 1 in the formula tool at the end as now that is an INT field
