I had a similar question.  Jonas provided some help.  You have to put your math expression for your counter into an Airtable column.  I am going to do an experiment on this and I will get back to you with my findings.  Mary

So I couldn't find a way in airtable to accept an Iterative Counter.  Here is what I do know - I am able to set up an Iterative calculation cell in Google Sheets.  I am now going to do a quick app to see what I have to do to get the input into the cell.  I'll get back to you again.  Mary

Hello Mauadh,
OK so the final answer is ....  AirTable does not support Cursive calculation for doing something like a counter (accumulator).  Spreadsheet products do support it -- Google Sheets and Excel.  Change the calculation settings for the spreadsheet to enable Iterative calculations.  However, I understand from tutorials etc.  that those spreadsheets only provide data to view.  Which does not support updates from a bravo app into the sheet.  I have placed a feature request on AirTable .  There a quite a few developers looking for this option of Cursive calculation.  
If you must have this function you may have to look at another framework like AppSheet.  AppSheet apps can view content of google sheets and can update google sheets.

Best wishes for now.   Mary
