I am trying to setup standings for my son's upcoming Fall/winter basketball league.

There will be 15 games (1 per week) with 6 teams (maybe more)

The wins/losses I can figure along with win percentage. What I am trying to add is a current streak for each team. I have each team listed (col A) with 15 cells to the right representing each week. Each week I will enter a W or L depending on their outcome. So now for example for Week 1 Team A wins and Team B loses. So Team A current streak is W-1 and Team B is L-1. Now for Week #2 lets say Team A wins again so I put a W in their next column and their streak is W-2. For Team B they also win so now their streak goes from L-1 to W-1. I will enter each weeks out come of W or L across for each week.

Is there a formula to put in column Q (col. A has team name and then col. B-P has weeks 1 - 15) that will read backwards from the most current week and count the number of same characters and put that character (W or L) and the number in secession? If a Team wins each other week then they will go from W-1 to L-1 back to W-1..etc. But if like Team A wins say their first 5 games after 5 weeks then there are 5 W's in their row giving them W-5.

Just trying to add some bells and whistles to the standings. I will also have points for and against, average points per game...etc.

Hope this is clear enough to understand
Thank you for your input.

Excel Facts

Quick Sum
Select a range of cells. The total appears in bottom right of Excel screen. Right-click total to add Max, Min, Count, Average.
For current win streak try

Another option, if you want a combined formula
Excel Formula:
=LET(WL,XLOOKUP("*",B2:P2,B2:P2,"",2,-1),WL&"-"&COUNTIFS(XLOOKUP(IF(WL="W","L","W"),B2:P2,B2:P2,B2,0,-1):P2,WL))

Another approach:

Excel Formula:
=LOOKUP("Z",B2:P2)&"-"&ABS(MAX(COLUMN(B2:P2)*(B2:P2="W"),1)-MAX(COLUMN(B2:P2)*(B2:P2="L"),1))
