Count singles,double,tripple

[bilbon]

Hi,

I have a row that looks like this.

<TABLE style="WIDTH: 143pt; BORDER-COLLAPSE: collapse" border=0 cellSpacing=0 cellPadding=0 width=182><COLGROUP><COL style="WIDTH: 11pt; mso-width-source: userset; mso-width-alt: 512" span=13 width=14><TBODY><TR style="HEIGHT: 12.75pt" height=17><TD style="BORDER-BOTTOM: windowtext 0.5pt solid; BORDER-LEFT: windowtext 0.5pt solid; BACKGROUND-COLOR: transparent; WIDTH: 11pt; HEIGHT: 12.75pt; BORDER-TOP: windowtext 0.5pt solid; BORDER-RIGHT: windowtext 0.5pt solid" class=xl66 height=17 width=14>R</TD><TD style="BORDER-BOTTOM: windowtext 0.5pt solid; BORDER-LEFT: windowtext; BACKGROUND-COLOR: transparent; WIDTH: 11pt; BORDER-TOP: windowtext 0.5pt solid; BORDER-RIGHT: windowtext 0.5pt solid" class=xl66 width=14>R</TD><TD style="BORDER-BOTTOM: windowtext 0.5pt solid; BORDER-LEFT: windowtext; BACKGROUND-COLOR: transparent; WIDTH: 11pt; BORDER-TOP: windowtext 0.5pt solid; BORDER-RIGHT: windowtext 1.5pt solid" class=xl67 width=14>R</TD><TD style="BORDER-BOTTOM: windowtext 0.5pt solid; BORDER-LEFT: windowtext; BACKGROUND-COLOR: transparent; WIDTH: 11pt; BORDER-TOP: windowtext 0.5pt solid; BORDER-RIGHT: windowtext 0.5pt solid" class=xl68 width=14> </TD><TD style="BORDER-BOTTOM: windowtext 0.5pt solid; BORDER-LEFT: windowtext; BACKGROUND-COLOR: transparent; WIDTH: 11pt; BORDER-TOP: windowtext 0.5pt solid; BORDER-RIGHT: windowtext 0.5pt solid" class=xl66 width=14> </TD><TD style="BORDER-BOTTOM: windowtext 0.5pt solid; BORDER-LEFT: windowtext; BACKGROUND-COLOR: transparent; WIDTH: 11pt; BORDER-TOP: windowtext 0.5pt solid; BORDER-RIGHT: windowtext 1.5pt solid" class=xl67 width=14> </TD><TD style="BORDER-BOTTOM: windowtext 0.5pt solid; BORDER-LEFT: windowtext; BACKGROUND-COLOR: transparent; WIDTH: 11pt; BORDER-TOP: windowtext 0.5pt solid; BORDER-RIGHT: windowtext 0.5pt solid" class=xl68 width=14>R</TD><TD style="BORDER-BOTTOM: windowtext 0.5pt solid; BORDER-LEFT: windowtext; BACKGROUND-COLOR: transparent; WIDTH: 11pt; BORDER-TOP: windowtext 0.5pt solid; BORDER-RIGHT: windowtext 0.5pt solid" class=xl66 width=14> </TD><TD style="BORDER-BOTTOM: windowtext 0.5pt solid; BORDER-LEFT: windowtext; BACKGROUND-COLOR: transparent; WIDTH: 11pt; BORDER-TOP: windowtext 0.5pt solid; BORDER-RIGHT: windowtext 1.5pt solid" class=xl67 width=14> </TD><TD style="BORDER-BOTTOM: windowtext 0.5pt solid; BORDER-LEFT: #f0f0f0; BACKGROUND-COLOR: transparent; WIDTH: 11pt; BORDER-TOP: windowtext 0.5pt solid; BORDER-RIGHT: windowtext 0.5pt solid" class=xl69 width=14>R</TD><TD style="BORDER-BOTTOM: windowtext 0.5pt solid; BORDER-LEFT: windowtext; BACKGROUND-COLOR: transparent; WIDTH: 11pt; BORDER-TOP: windowtext 0.5pt solid; BORDER-RIGHT: windowtext 0.5pt solid" class=xl66 width=14> </TD><TD style="BORDER-BOTTOM: windowtext 0.5pt solid; BORDER-LEFT: windowtext; BACKGROUND-COLOR: transparent; WIDTH: 11pt; BORDER-TOP: windowtext 0.5pt solid; BORDER-RIGHT: windowtext 0.5pt solid" class=xl66 width=14>R</TD><TD style="BORDER-BOTTOM: windowtext 0.5pt solid; BORDER-LEFT: windowtext; BACKGROUND-COLOR: transparent; WIDTH: 11pt; BORDER-TOP: windowtext 0.5pt solid; BORDER-RIGHT: windowtext 0.5pt solid" class=xl66 width=14>R</TD></TR></TBODY></TABLE>

I want to calculate the following:

Max empty cells in row Right answer is 3

Max 'R' in series Right answer is 3

Number of "R" if they are singles Right answer is 2

Number of "R" if they come as a double Right answer is 1

Number of "R" if they come as triple Right answer is 1

Is there a helpful person who can help me with these 5 formulas?

Hi,

I learn't how to do this from a post by Excel MVP Domenic here:
http://www.ozgrid.com/forum/showthread.php?t=71645&p=369653#post369653

All the following are Array formulae and need to be entered with Ctrl>Shift>Enter not just Enter:

• Max empty cells:
  =MAX(FREQUENCY(IF(A1:M1="",COLUMN(A1:M1)),IF(A1:M1<>"",COLUMN(A1:M1))))
  
• Max 'R' in series:
  =MAX(FREQUENCY(IF(A1:M1="R",COLUMN(A1:M1)),IF(A1:M1<>"R",COLUMN(A1:M1))))
  
• Number of "R" if they are singles:
  =SUM(--(FREQUENCY(IF(A1:M1="R",COLUMN(A1:M1)),IF(A1:M1<>"R",COLUMN(A1:M1)))=1))
  
• Number of "R" if they come as a double:
  =SUM(--(FREQUENCY(IF(A1:M1="R",COLUMN(A1:M1)),IF(A1:M1<>"R",COLUMN(A1:M1)))=2))
  
• Number of "R" if they come as triple:
  =SUM(--(FREQUENCY(IF(A1:M1="R",COLUMN(A1:M1)),IF(A1:M1<>"R",COLUMN(A1:M1)))=3))

The spaces is the tough part. Maybe someone can figure that one out for you. Singles, doubles, and triples I have here:
