计算增量空白单元格，直到下一个非空单元格（仅用于公式）

Question

My data looks like below. I want to count consecutive blank cells till next non empty cell. My logic is to get output, when A2 contains data then it will return 0 but when A3 is blank then I expect 1 and continue to count blank cells incrementally.

Part_No Location    Expected_Output
ABC123  North          0
        South          1
XYZ123  East           0
        South          1
        West           2
PQR123  South          0
        East           1
        North          2
        West           3
BROF-2  South          0
        East           1

Hope someone will help me to solve my problem. Thanks.

Answer 1

如果空格在行列A中，请尝试此操作

 =COUNTBLANK(INDIRECT("A"&LOOKUP(2,1/($A$2:A2<>""),ROW($A$2:A2))&":A"&ROW()))

Answer 2

In Range C2, use the formula:

=IF($A2<>"",0,$C1+1)

and then copy down- should do the trick.
