Repeat RecordId based on row sequence

Hi All,

 

is there a way to have a new column that repeats RecordIDs when the sequence of row contents starts again? As you can see, the content of column 1 restarts again after 17 records. I would like something similar like in Column 2

Use Multi-row formula - create a new integer field called column2

if [row-1:column1]=null() then 1 elseif [column1]='Filename' then [row-1:column2]+1 else [row-1:column1] endif

 

Might a bit off on my syntax but that's the general idea.

Apologies but I fear I have confused the query. I have, at the moment, one column (RegExOut1). If I use RecordID tool, it will generate unique numbers; however, as you can see from the pattern, the values in RegExOut1 repeat. I would like to have a recordID that only changes when the pattern restarts again. Hence the table of my initial post where I have recreated the result I am looking for in Column2. Does it make sense?

Hi @ste_demi ,

 

Does this expression in Multi Row Formula tool make sense?

 

IF [RegExOut1] = "FILENAME"
THEN [Row-1:RecordID] + 1
ELSE [Row-1:RecordID]
ENDIF
