Counting Occurances
I really need some help for work. I have a column that contains various
numeric values and I want to count the number of times it changes from one value to another, but there are spaces in between the cells. Heres a simple example, 8 8 8 15 15 18 17 17 8 3 17 15 So, is there a formula or macro, something that can sum up the number of times the number changes? I would really appreciate the help. |

Try this entered as an array formula with Ctrl-Shift-Enter
List is from A1 to A12 =SUM(IF(ISNUMBER(A1:A12),IF(A1:A12<A2:A13,1,0),0) )-1 With your data I got an answer of 7 ... is this correct? HTH "Rusty" wrote: I really need some help for work.

Sorry about the multiple posts. How do I get this array to work when there
are spaces in between the rows. Example, 8 9 10 10 11 2 "Toppers" wrote: Please only post to one NG. Thank you!

=SUMPRODUCT(--((A3:A13)-(A1:A11)<0))-1
Works if there are no zeroes. "Rusty" wrote: Sorry about the multiple posts. How do I get this array to work when there are spaces in between the rows.
