Hello everyone,
I have a column with values either 0 or 1. Everytime there is one or more 0 below together, I need them to be replaced with increasing values by 1 and do not change the lines with previous 1. Like this:

11 /*no change
11 /*no change
01 /*+1
1transform into ->1 /*no change
01 /*+1
02 /*+2 (or previous cell +1)
03 /* +3 (or previous cell +1)
11 /* no change

Do you have any ideas? It needs to be done due to logistics reasons where adjacent zeroes represent a new line with another product of the same order, just for your information.
I will be greatful for your help.

Hello Fluff and thank you so much!!! It works just great. I have not yet learned how to use IF/AND in Excel but will do now, it seems quite powerfull.
Have a nice day and all the best into 2020.
