    Sequential numbering formula omitting 0's and resetting after X rows

    I have a series of data that is hundreds of rows. I have attached a sample file. In column E I want an "ID" that starts at 1 and sequentially numbers skipping any 0 values that are in column D. I was able to accomplish that with the below formula:

    Formula: copy to clipboard
    =IF(D2=0,"",COUNTIF($D$2:$D2,">0"))


    The part that I haven't been able to figure out is that I want the numbering to "reset" after a specific number of rows. The number of rows will be specified by a cell. In my example file, cell J1 indicates that the count should reset after 15 rows. I have also included what the desired result should look like in column F.

    Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Why don't you just use the change in inventory number to do this? Not sure quite what the significance of 15 is.

    Thanks for the response! I would be ok using either the number OR the change in inventory number, but I am uncertain how to accomplish it that way either.

    Great - glad I spotted it, because it makes it much easier!

    =IF(D2=0,"",COUNTIFS($D$2:$D2,">0",$A$2:$A2,A2))

    Re: Sequential numbering formula omitting 0's and resetting after X rows

    I came up with the same as Ali, before seeing her response, i.e. in E2:

    =IF(D2=0,"",COUNTIFS($D$2:$D2,">0",A$2:A2,A2))

    Copy down as required.
