Great.
Please, you are not new here, and you've asked questions recently with the same issues of poor description, so don't, ever, do that again. Ask with all the information, representative sample data, expected output, the output you get from what you have tried, and what you have tried.
So how many different values do you have? Are they fixed, or can someone add a new value at any random moment?
Why do you want the sequence numbers? It doesn't make the records look any prettier, and anyone processing the file can more easily "create" the sequences on the fly. What is the overbearing purpose of having this?
Don't generate your own chit-chat (chit-chat in "Frequently Asked/Off-topic" questions) and don't respond to the chit-chat of others.
