Index by pattern

Hello,

My data have a pattern, generally of 4 rows, but sometimes it breaks by 3 or 5 rows.

I am looking for solution to start again the "pattern_index" from zero every time I have TRUE in the "pattern" column.

As now I use Number.Mod([index], 4) in the "patten_index".

Thanks in advance
