If you've got your data in coulmn A, then a formula in column B, with B1
initialised to zero, and B2 showing =IF(A2<A1,B1+1,B1) [and copied down from
there] might do the trick?

Dear all,
I am trying to find a formula in excel that will allow me to count the
number of higher highs or new highs in a data series. eg. 1,2,1,4,1,3,6,3,
this series has three new highs ie numbers 2,4, and 6.
Any ideas would be very much appreciated.
Thanks.
