I have been trying (unsuccessfully) to create a variable that counts upward the number of periods a company is doing business in a particular market, which starts over at 1 when sales fall to $0, or when the market changes for the firm, or when firms change. Any help would be appreciated. The count variable below is what I am shooting for.
Firm Market Sales Count
1 100 $354 1
1 100 $344 2
1 100 $244 3
1 100 $37 4

1 200 $98 1
1 200 $99 2
1 200 $0 3
1 200 $34 1
1 200 $25 2
2 100 $0 .
