Check which value appeared three times in a range

[adiritz]

I have following formula in Cell B11.

=IF((COUNTA(A2:A10)-COUNTIF(A2:A10,A2))=6,"Y","")

It checks if the value of A2 cell appeared 3 times in a last nine rows and show Y or else remain blank.

I want to check values of all 9 cells from A2:A10 and display VALUE in B11 only if following conditions are met:

1. there is only one value in 9 cells which have appeared 3 times. All other values need to be 2 or below.


So for eg.

A
A
B
C
D
E
F
A

IT SHOULD DISPLAY 'A'

A
B
B
B
B
C
D
D
D

It should display NONE, as more than one value have appeared 3 times or more

A
A
A
B
A
C
D
E
F

It should display NONE, as A has appeared more than 3 times in last 9 rows

Thanks for all your help.

The first set has only 8 values, is this correct?

What is the result when the following is given?

Row\Col	A​
2​	D
3​	B
4​	B
5​	B
6​	B
7​	C
8​	D
9​	D
10​	D
11​	B

What is the result if D of A2 occurs 4 times?

Maybe something like this

	A​	B​
1​	Values​
2​	A​
3​	A​
4​	B​
5​	C​
6​	D​
7​	E​
8​	F​
9​	A​	Value​
10​	F​	A​
11​	A​
12​	B​
13​	B​
14​	B​
15​	B​
16​	C​
17​	D​
18​	D​	Value​
19​	D​	NONE​
20​	A​
21​	A​
22​	A​
23​	B​
24​	A​
25​	C​
26​	D​
27​	E​	Value​
28​	F​	NONE​

Array formula in B10
=IF(AND(SUMPRODUCT(--(COUNTIF(A2:A10,A2:A10)=3))=3,SUMPRODUCT(--(COUNTIF(A2:A10,A2:A10)>3))=0),INDEX(A2:A10,MATCH(3,COUNTIF(A2:A10,A2:A10),0)),"NONE")
Ctrl+Shift+Enter

Select B9:B10 and copy (Ctrl+C)
Select B18:B19 and paste (Ctrl+V)
Select B27:B28 and paste (Ctrl+V)

Hope this helps
