Is there a way to count a value consecutively with counting the empty cells in the middle ?
The return I want is like Column H where when there's an empty cell, it recounts from there.

I found that this formula works well but it counts everything.
=MAX(FREQUENCY(IF(A2:G2=1,COLUMN(A2:G2)),IF(A2:G2<>1,COLUMN(A2:G2))))

What is the fastest way to copy a formula?
If A2:A50000 contain data. Enter a formula in B2. Select B2. Double-click the Fill Handle and Excel will shoot the formula down to B50000.
Hi tzianhao,

One solution might be to find the last empty column using the following Array formula (column K):
=MAX(--((LEN($A2:$G2)=0)*COLUMN($A2:$G2)))
Enter it with Ctrl+Shift+Enter

Then, in column L, you can sum all values that are to the right of this one last empty column:
=SUM(INDEX($A2:$G2,1,$K2+1):INDEX($A2:$G2,1,7))

Combined Array formula (Ctrl+Shift+Enter):
=SUM(INDEX($A2:$G2,1,(MAX(--((LEN($A2:$G2)=0)*COLUMN($A2:$G2))))+1):INDEX($A2:$G2,1,7))

Does it help?
