Hi Tierry, Thanks for your answer, that is very close to I'm looking, but there are this difference:
whit your code I get this: Depth s_name indice Im_looking 3852 Site_1 144 3852.01 3852 Site_1 144 3852.01 3852 Site_1 144 3852.01 3852 site_A 145 3852.02 3852 site_A 145 3852.02 3852 site_A 145 3852.02 3852 site_A 145 3852.02 3852 site_B 147 3852.03 3852 site_B 147 3852.03 3852 site_B 147 3852.03 3852 site_B 147 3852.03 54962 site_C 27 54962.04 54962 site_C 27 54962.04 54962 Site_D 217 54962.05 54962 Site_D 217 54962.05 54962 Site_D 217 54962.05 54962 Site_D 217 54962.05 I need that when the depth change, the increase start with .01 again. Please cheek in my example the last 8 rows. (attach to the end) Maybe you have another possible solution?
