Count Data in Series
Hi,
I'm trying to write a formula that will go down a column and count the number of one value cells that occur between those of another value. For example, given: P S S P S S S S P P S P in column A, I'd like a formula in column B that gives: P S S P 2 S S S S P 4 P 0 S P 1 I want the columns opposite the "S" to remain empty. I've been playing with the =FREQUENCY function, but haven't been able to figure it out. Thanks, |

Thanks, Assuming your data is in A1:A12, put the following in B2 and copy down: =IF(A2="P",COUNTIF($A$1:A2,"S")-SUM($B$1:B1),"") |

Paste this formula in B1 cell
=IF(IF(A1="P",COUNTIF($A$1:$A1,"S"),"")=0,"",IF(A2 ="P",COUNTIF($A$1:$A2,"S"),"")) Paste this formula in B2 cell =IF(ISNUMBER(IF(A2="P",COUNTIF($A$1:$A2,"S"),"")), IF(A2="P",COUNTIF($A$1:$A2,"S"),"")-SUM($B$1:$B1),IF(A2="P",COUNTIF($A$1:$A2,"S"),"")) Copy the B2 cell and paste it for the remaining cells of B Column -- Remember to Click Yes, if this post helps! -------------------- (Ms-Exl-Learner) -------------------- "Demosthenes" wrote: Hi, I'm trying to write a formula that will go down a column and count the number of one value cells that occur between those of another value.
