Hello All,

 

I am stuck with this issue where I want to add when there is change in flag value. Example:

 

ID  Flag

1    0

1    1

1    1

1    1

2    1

2    0

2    0

2    1

2    1

2    0

2    0

3    1

3    1

3    1

3    1

4    0

4    0

4    0

4    1

4    1

 

Output expected:

ID  Flag  Cnt

1    0       1

1    1       2

1    1       2

1    1       2

2    0       2

2    0       2

2    1       3

2    1       3
