I have a column like below in power query

so on row 1 -- I need a 1 there.
on row 10-- the next time I have start I need a number 2

and so on.

I assume this is a simple custom function, but never done anything like this at the row-level before.
null values should be nulls.

My plan was to use a custom function to count and then fill down the null values.


I would like a counter to start with 1 and then increment by 1 every time the word start was seen

How to find 2nd largest value in a column?
MAX finds the largest value. =LARGE(A:A,2) will find the second largest. =SMALL(A:A,3) will find the third smallest
