Hello,

I'm trying to create a formula for column C in the examples below.
  • Column B is static, it never changes. I included it in case there's a clever way to use it that I'm not seeing.
  • Column A is input by the user.

I've been at it for a while and can't find a solution. Basically I want column C to start counting when the Column A has a value of 1 and continue counting until the last none zero value. There will never be more than 25 rows. Thanks in advance.

How to fill five years of quarters?
Type 1Q-2023 in a cell. Grab the fill handle and drag down or right. After 4Q-2023, Excel will jump to 1Q-2024. Dash can be any character.
This works great! I like the way you used the SUM function to add a value of 1 to the value in the cell above. Lot cleaner than what I was doing. I think I understand what you did here with the AND and COUNTIF functions.

Thank you,
Nick
