Default Consecutive cells

Sorry this seems to be a repetitive question but I can't seem to get it to
work. I have once colum with with either an O or a U in it. What I want
to do is have EXCEL tell me when there are consecutive occurences of either
of these letters:
EXAMPLE:
A B
1 O
2 O YES
3 U
4 O
5 U
6 U
7 U YES

What do I need to do to tell me that 2 consecutive O's have occurred and 3
consecutive U have occured, by placing a YES in Column B. Can this be done?
I also want to know the max number of consecutives. In this example it
would be 2 O's and 3 U's
