Create columns with 'Steps' and 'Runs' based on column with sequential numbers but varying rows, 'Steps' repeat every 4th number.

Having a tough time trying to word this question! But I have a data set, 'Sample', that start at 1 and is continuous but number of rows per value is not consistent (ie. 1,1,1,2,2,3,3,3,3,4,4,5...). Format for sample and desired columns below. Thanks!

You can get steps using Mod()

Mod(:Sample - 1, 4) + 1

and run with division and Ceiling()

Ceiling(:Sample / 4)

That worked. Thanks!

Assuming your data is consistent with the sample data, with 4 samples per run, here are two simple formulas

New Column("Step", Numeric, "Continuous", Format("Best", 12), Formula(1 + Mod(:Sample - 1, 4)));
New Column("Run", Numeric, "Continuous", Format("Best", 12), Formula(Ceiling(:Sample / 4)));
