    images are pretty useless ,you cant work from an image
    Attach a sample workbook. Make sure there is just enough data to demonstrate your need. Include a BEFORE sheet and an AFTER sheet in the workbook if needed to show the process you're trying to complete or automate. Make sure your desired results are shown, mock them up manually if necessary.

    Remember to desensitize the data.

    Re: Fill data in sequence based on identifier

    Column A to be filled (needs a formula)

    Data is in Column C (prefilled)
    Identifier is the number 1 in column B (prefilled)

    I need a formula for column (A) The prefilled numbers that are in column (C) to column (A) in sequence based on the number 1 being present in column (B)

    The second table displays exactly how it should look when formulated properly.


    Here is a simple explanation: I need to fill column A with the data in column C but only in the rows that column B has the number 1 present.
