Using while-loop to increment an adder by 1 each time it sees a value

table1

yearforecasted_month
202312
20231
20232

 

I have a table that looks like this and I want to create a new column called forecasted_year where it adds 1 to year whenever forecasted_month hits 1 again.

 

My expected outcome would look like this if it works as intended

forecasted_year
2023
2024
2024

 

Is there any way to do this in DAX or Power Query?

Neither DAX nor Power Query have a concept of mutable variables. You need to bring your own index column to make this work.
