Default EXCEL-Numbers in Sequence

Try this...

Create this defined formula.

Goto the menu InsertNameDefine
Name: Seq
Refers to: =ROW(INDIRECT("1:15"))

Ok out

Then, assuming your data is in the range A2:A8.

Array entered** :

=MAX(FREQUENCY(IF(ISNUMBER(MATCH(Seq,A2:A8,0)),Seq ),IF(ISNA(MATCH(Seq,A2:A8,0)),Seq)))

** array formulas need to be entered using the key combination of
CTRL,SHIFT,ENTER (not just ENTER). Hold down both the CTRL key and the SHIFT
key then hit ENTER.

Hi,

Someone whou knows how to count the maximum amount of numbers that are in
consecutive sequence regardless of their position out of a selected
numbers
of cells.

I have 7 cells which each can contain a number from 1-15.
E.g.: 1 4 3 10 8 5 11
Above the max is 3 numbers who are in consecutive sequence i.e. 3 4 5.

If someone knows how to make a formula to count this would be great.
