Default count the # of consecutive negative #'s in a range


hello,

I was wondering if there is a worksheet function that will do this.

e.g. i have a range with some #s like so...

-8 9 7 -8 -9 6 4 8 -8 -9 -2 -3 5 -8 -9 6

what i want is to count the consecutive # of negative #'s in this list.
for the example above the answer will be 4 (-8 -9 -2 -3)

is this possible or do i have to write a macro for this?
