    I did this using helper columns - you can probably combine

    Thank you Mike for the appearance
    The idea is good.
    I'm trying to find a formula without extra help columns (if there is a possibility)
    regards

    In B2

    =IF(OR(A3="",ABS(A2-A3)>MAX(ABS(A2),ABS(A3))),COUNTBLANK(B$1:B1)-SUM(B$1:B1)+1+COUNT(B$1:B1),"")

    Copy down

    Ace thank you for answering.
    The idea is OK, but then the problem with zero (0).
    If a cell in column A contains the value zero then there is no break between series
    Is there a possibility that the formula ignores the zero (0) and return an empty cell in the same row
