Hi, I have data similar to the timestamp and location fields below and need to sequence locations into visits. I can get somewhat close using the multi-row formula tool, but need to distinguish between multiple visits to the same location during the same day (rows 4-6 should be 3 not 1). Any help appreciated!

Hi  @CCares17 ,

You're right, you could use a multi-row formula tool: 

 

IF ISNULL([Row-1:Desired Field]) THEN 1
ELSEIF [Row-1:Location] = [Location] THEN [Row-1:Desired Field]
ELSE [Row-1:Desired Field] + 1
ENDIF

 

Let me know if this helps

What is the logic for row#1 and row#2?
