Number sequence

How can I get the number sequence as attached? I have the column 'Type' using which I'm trying to derive column 'Number'.

I'm not sure if I can get this using Multirow or Tile, yet to try on these. Initial thoughts are heading towards writing a complicated formula but thought to check with the community if there is an easier solution?

I took a route that used the Tile, Multiple Multi Row Formula, and transformation tools. I used a few more tools than necessary, but it should be easy to follow (browses at key points) and scale.

Hi @cghanshyam ,

 

One way to achieve that is by creating an additional column only to create that kind of sorting.

Take a look at the attached example and let me know if that works for you.

Hi there, 

 

I think this might be what you're looking for. I got there with with multi-row formulas, a transpose tool and summarize/concatenation. Let me know if you have any questions.
