Hi,
excel sample
In the example I have a column of only 3 words here / there / everywhere these run as results
Note: The column I have is large, and I need an easier method, then pen and paper.
These words “may” come in continuous repeated results.
Currently I count the "no appearance" of these continuous results.
So when it says “here”, then we know “there” and “everywhere” do not appear, and then they get a count of 1, the number increases as the text does not appear.
I now know is when a word does NOT appear (totally absent) for XX times.
Note: My count has determined the MAXimum amount of times that the text does NOT appear is 31 (Month), so a table starting at 31 and counting down
I would like to create a table that display how many times in the string this happens
So:
“here”
Not appeared 31 times in consecutive rows in the column XX times
Not appeared 30 times in consecutive rows in the column XX times
Not appeared 29 times in consecutive rows in the column XX times
Not appeared 28 times in consecutive rows in the column XX times
Not appeared 27 times in consecutive rows in the column XX times
Not appeared 26 times in consecutive rows in the column XX times
Not appeared 25 times in consecutive rows in the column XX times
Not appeared 24 times in consecutive rows in the column XX times
Not appeared 23 times in consecutive rows in the column XX times
Etc (all the way to 1)
And repeat in a table for the other 2 text words “there” and “everywhere” as well. (See Attached)
In my attached example currently I look in each column and write down the number highest number time a text is not present.
So if you look at “here” it counted a string of
3 has happenned 5 times and 4 has happenned 1 time and 12 has happenned 1 time
“there” 3 has happenned 2 times and 6 has happenned 2 times
“everywhere”
7 has happenned 2 times
8 has happenned 2 times
9 has happenned 1 time
18 has happenned 1 times
But as I explained in the total string of the 9 that appeared once in “everywhere” it has 7 and 8 in that string when counting up to 9
So I cant use a formula with an if exist or countif outcome.
Ideally instead of having my 3 columns counting just a formula that populates with a table appearance. Or I could hide those current counting columns too.
I normally work out most problems using this forum..but I am at a loss what the formula is called
