Thought I could handle this but it's kicking me good.

If "ALL" of the last 4 entries in colA are in sequential order (ascending or
descending) AND are "ALL" either <=, or, = A1, then display B1 in A12
otherwise nothing.

Luke,

For your example, witht he last four numbers in A7:A10:

=IF(AND(OR(SUMPRODUCT((A8:A10A7:A9)*1)=3,
SUMPRODUCT((A8:A10<A7:A9)*1)=3),OR(MIN(A7:A10)A1, MAX(A7:A10)<A1)),B1,"")

though it wasn't clear to me if the descending needed to all be less than A1, or....

Oops: forgot about the <= / =

=IF(AND(OR(SUMPRODUCT((A8:A10A7:A9)*1)=3,
SUMPRODUCT((A8:A10<A7:A9)*1)=3),OR(MIN(A7:A10)=A1 ,MAX(A7:A10)<=A1)),B1,"")

I works so far! I have a lot of entries s I will new post if I find any
problems.

Yeah, I was woundering if you would get the meaning.. Essentially I need B1
to show weather the sequence is ascending or descending as well as being
Higher or lower that A1.
Thanks, you're one of the best!
