Count Number Of Batches Of Consecutive Numbers In A Column?
Oct 11, 2012
What I am trying to is to count the number of times a certain number or character appears (either on its own or in a batch of consecutive cells containing that number/character) in a column.An example might clarify things (for reasons of brevity I will write the columns in rows):
If a column looks like (each 1-digit numbers / characters being a consecutive cell) 0 0 X X 0 0 X and I am counting for X, then I should get 2. If my column is X X 0 X X 0 X 0 0, then I should get 3. If my column is 0 X X 0 0 X 0 then I should get 2. If my column is X X 0 X X 0 X then I should get 3. Is there a formula to perform that calculation?
I have a daily column of numbers of approx 600 rows and the number is either a 0 or 1 and the 0 or 1 are in a random order in each row like:
1 1 1 0 1 0 0 0 1 0 0 1
I would like to find the min number of rows with 1, the max number of rows with 1, the totals of consecutive rows with 1 ie 3 consecutive rows of 1 appear 4 times, 4 consecutive rows appear 6 times etc and the average of the consecutive rows with 1.

I am preparing a attendance sheet. I am using 1 & 0 for present(=1) & absent(=0). I want to find out if a student has been absent for three consecutive days and if there is three consecutive 0 then the formula should return the value 0 ( the student gets 0 if he is absent for 3 consecutive days ) otherwise it should add all the 1s in the row. i.e
I have an excel spreadsheet to record employee holiday and sickness figures.
It is set on as a grid e.g. column A stores all the dates and then employee names are used as column header.
One of the triggers I need to use is where, an employee has been absent 28 consecutive days. When an employee is absent I simply enter 'ABSENT' against there name.
Countif will count the number of time absent appears in the column however I need it to only recognise it if it is only 28 days in a row.
to create with the default excel functions the following calculator. I need to calculate the maximum number of positive numbers which happen in a row and the maximum number of consecutive negative numbers. For example in the following list of numbers there are a maximum of 7 consecutive positive and a maximum of 6 consecutive negative numbers:
I'm looking at test results and would like to know how many times in a row correct answers were given before getting one incorrect. The way I have this currently set up, is if a student has the answer correct it returns a "TRUE" value, and a "FALSE" value for an incorrect answer. A typical test may have 50 questions, so I would have either "TRUE" or "FALSE" values in rows A1 through A50.
So I've been trying to figure out a formula that counts the number of times "TRUE" rows repeat 'consecutively' in a given column, in this scenario column A. The formula would need to check the current row and if "TRUE" check the row immediately after, if that row is also "TRUE" then check the row immediately after that, until it runs into a "FALSE" string, then display that total count of consecutive "TRUES" in another cell. I understand there may be duplicate results but I'm only really interested in the longest value, so duplicates can be ignored.
If it makes the formula easier, each possible result can be assigned to it's own cell. Let's assume the test has 50 questions. So if a student got all 50 questions correct the result count would be 50 in cell B50, or if they got 25 correct before the first incorrect answer, cell B25 would say 25, etc. I'm guessing I could then easily query this column for the largest value to come up with what I need at a glance.
I'm trying to create a formula (in Sheet 1) that will return the most recent number of cells containing a value (i.e. not empty) in Sheet 2 Range AD2:A367 greater than zero.
I've tried using COUNTIF but that only adds the individual values, it doesn't 'start from zero again' when a zero value appears.
how to built a formula or a VBA code which would tell me how many times a range of a certain amount of consecutively stnading cells in a given row there is present, where each of the cells belonging to these five cells fulfills a certain criterion.
Example:
How many times does the range of 5 consecutive cells appear in range A1 to P2, where every cells belongng to these 5 consecutive cells would have a value graeater than 10.
Using a Dynamic Named Range "Data", I would like a Formula to return the Row Number of the "LAST" instance of a duplicate numeric value - repeating twice consecutively in the same column.
I'm trying to count the number of numbers within a given range.
Example Row Y has cells that contain a series of numbers 1,5,9,12,23. No cell in the range should have the same individual number more than once. At the end of row Y I want to know how many numbers, not the total of the numbers are within that range.
Y 1 1,3,5 2 21,32,44 3 12,19,31 .. 40 2,4,18 41 total number of numbers in range Y1:Y40 - 12
I am trying to work out how to count the number of cuts that might be made in a length of pipe, dependent on the length of the source material and the cut lengths required. This is so I know how much to charge for the activity.
So for example, the source material is 3600mm in length, I need 3 lengths of say 1100mm which gives me waste of 300mm (that doesn't matter) but I need to be able to calculate the number of cuts made (in this case 3) for any variation of the cut lengths. The 3600 only varies from time to time but the cut lengths change all the time.
I have a cell content to interogate in vba, the format of the cell is that it has a set of numbers. There are 3 posible scenarios. 1 There is no number at all 2 There is just one number 3 There could be theoraticaly as many as 24 numbers separated by a space eg 2 4 12 .
I would like to count the number of these numbers and and express it as a variable. The numbers will always be unique by that I mean there will not be 2 same numbers in the one cell. I tried looking for the solution but I had no success.
For the example above TheFinalTotal = 3
Also Im trying to strip a date in a format 02/12/2006 into just 02122006. I know that this is possible but I just bomed out trying to find this as well.
I have data in a column (G) consisting of zero and ones. I would like to count the number of clusters of the number 1 in the data. For example in the data below there are 8 ones. But instead, I need to calculate how many groups of 1s occur. So in the case below the group of 1s = 3.
In terms of what defines a group. Whenever there is a zero either before or after the occurance of a 1 constitues a group, i.e the groups are broken out by zeros.
I have attached an example. Basically I had this set up to calculate the row and give the answer at the end. But now I cant see the results without scrolling, so I want to move the answer fields to the C column and add new data into the D column while keeping all the data in the formula.

I have a 52 (one for each week) page workbook. I am trying to average cell J9 for the entire 52 pages. However the information is not added to the cell until the end of the week so week 30-52 all have 0s and should not be counted in the dividing number. Is there a way to have Excel count the number of cells that have a number (not 0) and divide the sum of the cells but that number.
=(WK1!J9+.....WK52!J9) / (counted number of cells not = 0)
I am looking to count group numbers that are bound to a nomenclature number. So I have made an example below. The nomenclature number is bound to 1. So I want to count all the 1's that are bound to 0912, which would be 5. and the same goes for 1234. the 2 is bound to the nomenclature 1234, so i want to count all the 2's that are bound to 1234. Which would be 3.
I have to calculate bonus payments for people working O/S. I have a 5 year calendar in month blocks (60 months/columns). In each month there is a percentage 'time O/S' figure.
If an employee is O/S for 3 consecutive months they get bonus 'A', 6 consective months bonus 'B', etc. How can I evaluate the 60 columns, returning the number of times 100% occurs in 3 consecutive months/columns. I have found examples of similar solutions but they will return a value of 3 if there are 5 consecutive months of 100%...
ie. 100 100 100 100 100 = 100 100 100 *** *** & *** 100 100 100 *** & *** *** 100 100 100 = 3 but I need it to equal 1
I'm trying to use this formula to count consecutive values but somehow it doesn't work properly. Does anyone see what's going wrong here or is there a better formula to this?
I'm trying to come up with an array formula to count the consecutive declines or increases from the last value in a column, going from bottom to top. The real world application is a list of daily stock prices down a column, and counting from the most recent day, how many consecutive days the price declined or increased.
I got some hints in the following post but can't get it evaluate the resulting logical array in reverse order (which is needed since column addresses are evaluated top to bottom, not bottom to top).
Count consecutive increase in values
Example for consecutive increases leading to last value 49 50 51 52 53 49 55 56
I need a formula to return 2, the number of increases from 49 to 56.
I am a remodeling contractor trying to monitor trips my employees are making to the lumberyard. I am able to export to excel from our accounting program a column of dates that invoices are made and another column that tells me whether trips were made before 8:30, between 8:30 and 3:30, after 3:30, or whether materials were delivered involving no trip. So I can count "time of day" trips. I also want to know if multiple trips were made in a single day, or if trips were made 2, 3, 4, 5, etc. days in a row.
Column 1 Column 2 Monday, July 6 2009 Before 8:30 Monday, July 6 2009 Between 8:30 and 3:30 Tuesday, July 7 2009 Between 8:30 and 3:30 Wednesday, July 8 2009 Before 8:30 Friday, July 10 2009 After 3:30 Monday, July 13 2009 Before 8:30 Wednesday, July 15, 2009 Before 8:30
In this example, I have 2 trips made on a single day; 1 instance of trips made 3 days in a row; 1 instance of trips made 2 days in a row (Friday, and then again on Monday since we don't work weekends) and 1 instance of 1 trip made on an isolated day. Additionally, we have 4 trips made before 8:30; 2 trips between 8:30 and 3:30 and 1 trip made after 3:30. Columns for a single job could range to 30 or 40 trips or more, and we have 6-12 jobs running at any one time, so I could be looking at data for all of those jobs once a month if I can figure out how to make it easy to do. I have figured out how to count up the time of day trips (but included the example here for a fuller picture of what I'm trying to do) but cannot figure out how to count the number of 2,3,4,5 etc.-day-in-a-row trips that are being made.
