    Colin970 At a first glance it seems that you want the time stamp to show Top-2 if the row below it has Top-2 in it. But that logic fails for the 4:42 PM at the bottom as it should have 0, not Top-2.  So please clarify.

        Colin970 Can you share a sample file via OneDrive or similar? Just remove anything confidential, as long as the  structure/layout remains the same as your real file.

        Colin970 See attached. Created the query in PQ for the Mac. It has a slightly different set-up. That's why the initial steps look a bit different. Didn't bother to re-write the M-code.
